Since I was connecting at ORD, and didn't find out about the swap until I reached the gate (and had to board nearly immediately), my breakfast morphed from a hot meal and F service to a snack box If I had been expecting E+, I would have been fine with E+. But to expect NF and be surprised at the gate with E+ made me not pleased.

This is standard practice for intra-European flight. But then, the European carriers also charge 5x for the seat...

I had the same thing happen on a SFO-LAX flight, though it wasn't that big a deal as I had the extra couple inches of pitch in E+
