how did you get the emergency row seat in the first place? did you pay extra money for it (because of the added leg room) or are you really tall? or did you just ask for it, or did they just suprise you
never been bumped but I will soon, I can feel it!
enjoy your flight, drink some champaigne |
From Incheon to Portland I was back with the natives. My 6'5" self was suffering before they even closed the door. The white girl next to me FULLY lived up to and surpassing the fat American image. The controls for my overhead light were on the top of the armrest and smothered by her massive right chesticle. The light stayed the way it was set. I then noticed an attendant pointing rudely at me then motioning me to come to her. I crowled over the other shmucks and was then informed I was being given the Exit row. The tiny old grandma could not speak English or likely, keep from soiling herself. I almost kissed the attendant. |
Last time I flew I was sitting next to this woman's brother - a huge fattie who oozed halfway into my seat. He snored the whole time too. I really wish airlines would make these people buy two seats. |

| Always ask if the flight is completely booked. If she/he says no, just politely ask if an upgrade is possible. Sometimes there is a nominal fee and sometimes not. |

Right now, I am sitting at the Naver Free-Internet Cafe in Incheon Airport. I was sipping on coffee when i decided to check my boarding pass. My emergency-row exit seat was changed! I quickly jumped on the net to see why my seat was changed (the attendants aren't here yet) and I was bumped to business class!!!! 
Dang, a 14-hour flight in business class!!!!! I'm stoked? Has it ever happened to you? |
Only between Korea and Japan... not long enough!
Was a better meal, though. |

All the time. And now that I'm a Gold Elite mileager, it's almost automatic. |

Oh my...You should have asked to be moved. That would be bad having someon spill onto you, especially for a long flight. I had this strange Chinese guy on my flight to Shanghai sitting next to me, and he kept putting his face right up near mine, so he could look out the window. I had a window seat and he didn't. So, I complained about him, and I got moved up to a better window seat with no one next to me. |
