I was just wondering whether since the new seating policy, any couple travelling together in J has actually not been able to sit together ? Or is it just peoples' perception that this may not be the case ?
Well not scientific and for short haul, but coming back from NCE last month there were at least three couples separated at check-in (and of course hogging the agents time trying to get seats together). They then were horse trading and playing musical chairs on board. This lead to someone who had swapped seats snarffing someone's veggie meal. Fortunately there was a veggie past choice on the menu anyway, so the chap who's wife didn't get her veggie meal had an acceptable alternative. Oh and she was sat in the middle of row one on the three side, whilst he was in 1C.
Bet they felt glad they coughed up £300 for an hour and a half flight.
