Airline will bump someone from their window seat up on my request for medical issue how do you handle confrontation?

I think this is fake too. OP either didn't spring for non middle seats up front or the whole thing is just some weird hypothetical.

We already paid for first class and there were no seats available except for the middle.

There were other flights. You need what you need, but the fact is you made a choice to inconvenience someone else and you should at minimum be willing to say so when the person shows up. It's the equivalent of waving when someone lets you merge.

That said, presumably the bumped passenger received an email aout their new seat at the time of change. If so, it won't even come up.

I also booked a first class window seat because it's the only way I can sleep. You should have booked your flight earlier like I did. I paid $1,800 for my flight. I would be pissed if I was moved. You should have planned better.

Do you have a medical condition? We have never requested a seat based on medical condition and were referred to do so when we chatted with the agent. We had to submit a doctors note to the medical and disability request form.

I would play dumb.

BS excuse to get a window.

He could have sat in either of the very middle two seats and then he wouldn't have to get up for anyone.

Yes, I have insomnia.

How is 2 4 2 configuration First Class? Doesn't sound like OP paid for FC.

So why didn't you book earlier if you needed a window seat? Or find another airline or just not fly if you have a bad back? You have choices.

"confirmed the swap"
Yeah they just wanted to get you off the phone with your fake whiny "medical condition"
I bet everyone has their same seat assignment.

That's true, the cost varies from $30-50.

It should be more since I often book early and pay extra so my family can sit together.

I don't think airlines should accommodate these requests. It's not like there is only one flight ever that goes to a location.

The list of "medical" conditions would be endless too.

I wouldn't just agree to a passenger request. I would move reluctantly if told by the flight attendant. I would expect some comp from the airline if I paid for the window seat, especially in first class!

It shows up on our ticket app. Why would the airline have this form and tell us to use it? We just asked on their agent chat and that's what they told us to do
