Same thing on the return. Bassinets ordered and weren't honored. Total chaos for a 13 plus hour flight.
Happens regularly co the FA's told me.

As a 3 yr running 1K, I have only lost my seat once, that due to an equipment change, I think there is exageration in "regulary"./

And just out of curiousity- if it was all fine the night before - why didn't you check in online then?
