People often buy the seat next them. I have even seen it done in FC for someone who did not want to be disturbed by a PAX beside them. If you buy a second ticket just use the name Hugh Adze and make sure GA pages you a few times :D

NZ encourages this in their cuddle seats: Two people sitting in a coach section of three that turns into a small bed on long haul flights. IIRC the fare for two adults is less than three coach tickets.

I've done this several times on DL when there were two of us traveling. Book the extra seat as LASTNAME / EXTRASEAT. Generally it's much less expensive than 2 FC seats, though if you're not elite and have to add in baggage fees and potentially EC fees, then it's a much closer equation.

He wasn't! It's a reference to an (intended) humorous post he made a few days ago that a couple of people didn't think was funny.
T H is one of the few people that has an unusual sense of humor, that is sometimes needed to hold the fabric of this forum together! . . . . not to mention - Keeping us in stitches! ;) :D |

How does one go about buying an extra seat? Can it be done online or does it require a phone call? What happens if the flight is overbooked, can you lose your extra seat? Anything else to look out for? |
Can't the GA bump the invisible person in the seat? If that happens, how do the involuntary boarding rules apply? :D

AFAIK there is no minimum size requirement for one to book an extra seat as a COS. It will be next to you, with moveable armrests, but keeping it next to wife also might be harder. Can two COSs share the extra seat? Don't expect to earn extra MQMs.

I would be concerned if there is an aircraft swap, and the three seats that were originally assigned together could potentially end up in three different parts of the aircraft. IMO not worth the extra $$ to worry about something like that happening.

I usually buy 2 seats when doing transcons in Y which isn't all that often but about once a year. I usually go up to the gate agent to confirm that my extra seat is next to mine. Twice I have been offered a seat in F or J to give up my two seats because it's a better result than upgrading someone on the upgrade waitlist. SUCKERS.
