I am usually the first to ask the passenger behind me if they mind my seat being reclined, and they are usually very thankful. I offered my F class seat to a passenger whose hubby was sitting in the seat next to me. He sat down next to me, asked how I was doing, and offered a handshake. It didn't make sense for them to be sitting in different rows (they seemed to be getting along), so I simply asked if the lady in the F seat in front of her hubby wanted to trade, (hubby approving). She accepted, and I gave up my window seat for an aisle seat in the same cabin class. On that same flight, another PAX 2 rows behind me (the one I had asked about reclining my seat prior to me giving that seat up to the lady in front of me) offered his meal (a Filet Mignon) to me, but I declined because I was already stuffed from the one I had already consumed.
