Once in awhile, the TA wants the man up front, too!
My husband and I were flying on an award tickets from a promo last week. Once was F, once was Y - and the Y ticket had no way of being upgraded. I had the F seat. We checked in at OHare at 5:30am. The agent commented on the two of us being split. I said "I know, it's sad" and waited for her to issue our boarding cards. Who knows why, she found the comment hysterically funny. She tapped away furiously for a bit, and got him moved up front. ^ ^
