I have a question regarding my seating situation last night. I have a Plat status and bought my flight only 2 days before departure. Seats available were all middle seats, including one EC seat. So I took that EC middle seat.
At the gate 1hr before departure, I was #8 on the upgrade list with 4 seats available in First, so no luck in being upgraded. I asked the GA if one of the 4 people that were going to be upgraded had an EC seat that was either window or aisle, and if I could get their seat once their upgrades cleared. The GA confirmed that EC non-middle seat would free up once the upgrades clear but said she was saving them for families.
I am not sure what that statement really meant but i thought I should have priority over those families (that sounds like a selfish statement, but hey, it is a 5hrs flight), am I right?
