I lost my blocked seat once. The gate agent reassigned a passenger to the blocked seat. There were other seats available. In this situation, this person was flying with an old couple and they were transiting in HKG. The old couple ordered special meals and could not speak English. So this person had to take care of them. It was understandable, but I lost the blocked seat.
