Seat Changed, Same Plane
 

Had a flight on an MD-90, selected 15A a couple days ago, logged into reservation and saw I was moved to 17A. :confused:
15A was also still available if I wanted to go back to it

Ended up changing to 26A because its the exit row, but I wonder if I could randomly have that changed for some reason.

Anyone seen something like this before?
It was not an equipment or schedule change.

Lots of threads on this already. It happens.

Oh ok, I had not see it brought up yet, just was curious if there was a why, or if its just a glitch

Delta just likes to screw with you sometimes.

Had this happen also after I had voluntarily "downgraded" myself from C+ to sit with my mom...called in but seat next to her was gone, so they moved her up next to me in C+. I wonder if it has to do with the new FCM seating I'm seeing today...I can see all seats/all cabins and each segment has a price to move up the ladder.

Years ago I had this happen and I called. I was told there was an equipment change, and then another equipment change back to the original type of equipment. But of course not back to my original seat. :(

I am a major OCD freak about babysitting my reservation. Once years ago I noticed on American Airlines that my First Class award ticket switched from an Embraer without First Class to a MD 80 with First Class on a SFO/Hawaii/SFO flight and this was on the short LAX-SFO flight. I called up American and they put me in First Class. They did not automatically upgrade me.

I saw that my seat has changed so I called up the airlines and got an even better seat than the one I got before. The airline is not going to call up everyone who has been reassigned. I look at my reservations twice a week for schedule changes etc.

Once an airline completely obliterated my itinerary and I was on the phone in a New York minute and got an even better itinerary that would have costed more with a better schedule.

Last year on Delta I booked my Father and I in Comfort+ from San Jose CA-Vancouver-San Jose via Seattle and my Mother had regular Economy. One day I went online to see her itinerary and got Comfort+ for $10 more than she paid. It could have been a pricing mistake but who was I to turn it down. Not only did I get her Comfort+ I got her a seat behind my Father. It was the best $10 I spent.

My point is its the passenger's responsibility to look at their reservation every so often and call up when you see something amiss.

Interesting, could be that, and no way to know if it switches back, I will just have to keep an eye on it, I like my exit row seats.


I'm with you on the OCD about checking reservations, def has helped me in the past too!

I do this too (mostly for fun), but I wouldn't say it should be the passenger's responsibility to do so - it wouldn't be that difficult for them to program an automatic notification if there's an equipment or seat change.

Delta cares NOT for any status or loyalty. It's all about how much did you spend.
