upgraded to exit row?
Having boarded my economy seat on an AMS-ATH flight recently, an FA came up to me and asked if I would like a seat with more room. I thought I was getting a Platinum upgrade to biz so I lept up...only to find her standing well behind me in the exit row. It was appreciated, but I can honestly say I've never had such an op-up.
On the return I got a proper op-up to row 2.

I think there were empty seats in biz. My guess was that they needed someone to sit in the exit row to operate the doors in case of emergency and they looked for the first Platinum member.

Actually the food was very good on the return in ES. Surprisingly excellent in fact. Maybe because the flight is over 3 hours? It wasn't anything like what I get on shorter runs.
