The "Priority Seat Selected" Experience - Deep Thoughts
OK, so I fly YVR-HKG-DPS in F & J every couple of years. Many on this forum know that CX operates three-class equipment as two-class on the HKG-DPS leg. And, sometimes the gods smile on us and we land in the F cabin when checking in, etc., if we're connecting from/to a long-haul F itinerary into/out of HKG.
Fair enough.
For the HKG-DPS leg this time, I happened to select a couple of "Priority" seats, which CX describes thusly:
While it's probably unlikely (is that an oxymoron?) that we'll get booted from those Priority seats, has anyone ever been rebooked into F from a Priority seat in the J when someone needed the latter?
Fair enough.
For the HKG-DPS leg this time, I happened to select a couple of "Priority" seats, which CX describes thusly:
Cathay Pacific Airways has designated a number of 'Priority Seats' on this aircraft for passengers with disabilities. Any passenger (other than a qualified passenger with a disability) assigned to a "Priority Seat" is subject to reassignment at the airport if such seat is required by a qualified individual with a disability.
That got me thinking about potential scenarios. I did a few FT searches and didn't find anything pertinent. So, here's the thing... While it's probably unlikely (is that an oxymoron?) that we'll get booted from those Priority seats, has anyone ever been rebooked into F from a Priority seat in the J when someone needed the latter?

i believe this is only pointing out the specific seats that have a baby bassinet and / or happen to be with a larger legroom hence the priority seating tag.

With that said, I think they're more likely to move an MPC elite into F then moving you into that elite's seat.

Unfortunately, that's an excellent point. Still, depending on the context, I might be able to mount a successful charm offensive. Chances are that this is all moot, but interesting enough to think through.
