his 2nd one says they send a smaller plane. it'd make sense a simple algorithm would map 1a1b1c1d1e to 1a1b1c1d2a2b etc. the rear most seats get bumped.

I assume people who pay less and/or are less costly to compensate (adults, people without babies, etc) get bumped first.

The relatively new “basic economy” class instead of “economy”.

A lot of times they are narrower too, guess you want seats with a low letter too (17A vs 17G).

yeah that's why I mapped seats in the first row into the second :) maybe they just truncate the extra seats instead of move them back. i don't know

All WizzAir planes have 3-3 seatings.
