Flew back to the states from London yesterday. Had the whole row to myself (planned it that way). People in front of me were upset that I wouldn't give up one of my seats. Nope. Slept like a baby.
I love how downvoted I'm getting in this thread. LOL
As I didn't vote on your comment I can't say for sure, but probably people are downvoting you because your own statements make it sound like you're bullying busy airline staff into getting what you want even though it's not owed to you.
The airline system is full of opportunity for gaming. I you fly a lot you learn the system.
The guy across the isle from me did the exact same thing.
