I do the old hang up and call back deal. Get another agent, who tells me the same thing. I ask for row 5 on the a320, and am told nope....disabled only. I ask him, not so politely, if he feels that this plane already has 4 disabled people, because most of the row is booked.

Thats it! Im done with NorthWORST. I had the option of booking a mixed EWR-ORD-CO-XXX-UA flight for 50 bucks LESS!!! I didnt want to mix carriers, and decided not to. Oh well....lesson learned.

PLEASE Larry, dont merge with NorthWORST.

***Rant off*****
WOW...what a nightmare!!!

Deep breath....okay....

on the Airbuses it is SOP (in my experience) to have 5B and 5C blocked for disabled access, while the rest of 5 (A, D, E, F) is bookable by elites.

So the fact that four seats are taken in row 5 and 2 are blocked is....er....normal, and not a conspiracy against ya.

Good luck. Hope ya get your upgrade!
