On my flight I was asked not once but twice to switch seats
so that pairs of people could sit together. The first time it was a serious
downgrade from aisle seat to window seat but the second time was redeemed and I
was back on the aisle plus had curried favor with the head flight attendant for
having been so flexible.
Thing is, it was a JOY to do this. I love traveling
with a companion and would be devastated (okay maybe just super grumpy) if I couldn't sit next to them on a 7 hour flight. I arrive at Chinatown buses an
hour early to ensure that Noah and I get a seat together so we can share
headphones and listen to Dan Savage podcasts together or watch movies on a tiny
telephone screen.
So hopefully I just paid it forward and if ever I am not
obscenely early for an accompanied trip (which frankly, will never happen),
someone will swap seats with me J
