Hey folks,

I haven't posted in this forum for a while but just recently jumped onto a VX flight from LAX to SFO (VX 836) on Saturday. I paid for an emergency exit row which are I believe to be rows 9 and 10, is that correct? If not, please correct me accordingly.

Anyways, mid-flight, a group of college yahooligans who decided to get drunk jumped into the emergency exit rows. They stayed there for the entire duration of the flight. Sorry for being anal, but even though the flight from LAX to SFO is an hour long, personally, I don't think they should have been there in the first place and the cabin team members along with the service director did nothing about this. I was pretty choked and when I brought it up to the attention of the service director, he said that there are exceptions.

What exceptions were there to this case? I know VX policy is pretty relaxed and not-so-uptight but I'm sorry, if I have to pay for a premium seat, I don't think that it's fair for these seats to be a free-for-all. Honestly, I was pretty bothered by this. Has anybody experienced this before? Again, I don't mean to be anal or anything, but hey, business is business until I know for a fact that premium seats are a free-for-all for the taking.
