Rouge 319/321 swap - exit row
I'm off with the wife, the sons and the 2 girlfriends next week on a rouge flight. (-;
Seated in the back.
My son and I have an exit row in economy. I've noticed that for this flight, they've swapped out the 319 for a 321 about 40% of the time, and with that, our exit row moves back...
Q's.
- will AC proactively move us?
- I've got an Expertflyer plane swap alert running - I presume I should call in right away if it is swapped
- I'm SE - if they swap and stick someone in the exit row on the 319, can I get them to change it?
This is a potentially frustrating turn of events for a 5+ hour flight.

Are they actually swapping the aircraft type last-minute, or do they just have different equipment scheduled on different days?

If they do end up swapping fins, and you lose your exit row seats, you can't get them to change it unless those seats are empty. So if someone else has been assigned the exit row seats, you're SOL.
