My Dad used to fly BA LHR-DEN-LHR about 8 times a year, usually in Old Club World although he would often try and snag a row of seat in Y because the Old Club World seat didnt recline to 180degrees. He told me he got the J service in the back cabin though I never flew with him on this route to be able to vouch for it </font>
Well, more recently either myself or my employees were flying SQ pretty much every second flight out of BOM and YVR. With the loads decimated due to SARS, the station managers asked me to email them 2 days in advance of whenever we were flying and they ALWAYS blocked an entire row of seats for us to spread out.

Seat blocks do nothing once the plane is in the air. If you are not using all of the seats in your row, any other passenger can move into them.

The whole issue is that 2 people in a 3 seat section just means a bit more leg space for each passenger, but neither passenger can lie down. Whereas one person in a 3 seat section is close to a bed.

That's my point: when I buy a coach ticket, I expect a seat, not a bed. The last time I laid down across three airline seats was...I don't know...about age 6.
