When someone without E+ access, such as a GM, purchases E+ for a specific flight...can they select a specific E+ seat or are they randomly assigned a seat?
Looking at available seats on upcoming flights I see examples of middle E+ seats reserved and window and aisle are open. I highly doubt elites are choosing middle seats.

Could be one person of a pair cleared their upgrade, or a change of equipment threw all the seats into disarray.Originally Posted by Dole

Took a look at it...definitely out of the ordinary for a seat selection. You get to pick your seat before paying the upcharge. 3 things come to mind. Originally Posted by Dole

1) The person REALLY wants the entire row to him/her so they think by picking a middle seat, they ward off people who are trying to have a seat between them.
2) The person REALLY likes the middle seat.
3) The person actually clicked on the wrong seat.

Correct, that's an exit row.Originally Posted by 6rugrats
Also interesting, as a 3P, I cannot choose a seat in row 8 on a 757-200.

Row 8 is nice though. I have sat there twice...plenty of room.Originally Posted by 6rugrats
Well, that explains it; hard to tell as it's not marked as such on UA's webpage and I didn't look at seatguru, which shows it is. Thanks.
