Getting an upgrade and not wanting it??!
Any of you guys ever actually NOT want an upgrade to F? For example, I'm on a CMH-LGA flight 2x a week and it's rarely 100% full. About half of the EC seats (or more) fly empty. Sometimes I'm actually happier flying in EC with nobody next to me rather than F where I still have a seat buddy even if they are a little farther away.
I had a situaiton a few weeks ago where I had an EC seat with an empty next to me. I checked my Delta app at the gate and found someone was now sitting next to me and there was no other EC row that was wide open. The back of the plane had several empty rows so I had the GA move me. She thought I was nuts!
Maybe I'm just anti-social?

I have done it when the upgrade put me in the bulkhead seat of a 737 for a redeye. Had to first make sure the GA could give me back my original seat.

my son is now 22 ... I did that quite a bit as well in the high-travel era, and agree that we were (and still are) all the better for it
