A week ago I flew from SEA to London via MSP and the SEA-MSP flight changed from a 753 to a 752 about 4 days before the flight. NWA automatically (or manually, I'm not sure) re-assigned my already EUA'd seat from 1D to 2D. In other words, I still kept my bulkhead window seat on the side of the plane I wanted.

Now today I noticed that my Feb 10 MSP-SEA segment also changed from a 753 to a 752. Since I'm not EUA'd yet, I was booked in 29F - exit row window. They moved me to 16C -- exit row by the door. Not sure why they moved me to an aisle but 16A was still available so I grabbed it. Nice that they put me in an exit row. Although it's on the "wrong" side of the plane for this flight, I've never missed an EUA between SEA & MSP and I doubt it will start in Feb.

Both of these are after a disastrous seat change I had returning from AMS last year in DTW. The equip changed at the last minute and my exit row window went to an aisle in the back of the bus. I wasn't happy.

NWA has this penchant for upgrading me to aisles even though my profile says I prefer window seats. I really wish they would fix this. I'm wondering if that's why they put me in 16C instead of 16A when the Feb 10 equip changed.

I also wish they would send an email notifying you of equip changes because a lot of seats change --- especially the preferred seats like exit rows and bulkheads.

Mine was the opposite last week. Equipment change PHX-MSP. Insted of 17F, I was put in 42C (with a 35 min layover) after OLCI. Called the Elite Line and they "un checked" me so I could get seats up front.
