Passengers on first class tickets change their bookings around frequently, so the airline may have been able to change the seats easily due to a cancellation.

Also, in that configuration, a middle seat person doesn't have to move for anyone except themselves.

Also, wherever you are, you'd better hold it in if you don't want to move and go to the bathroom.

You don't sound mentally with it, OP.

Just not smart. The whole question and starting of this thread is pointless, so I'm guessing they don't fly much or have any experience flying first class since moving seats in this scenario was completely senseless.

We fly business or first all the time this is a new configuration for us and with the recent back injury from skiing we asked the agent chat what to do.

NP. So in what scenario was anyone going to have to climb over your husband in the middle 4 seats?

Uh hunh. So you couldn't look at the seating chart and figure out there's no need to inconvenience anyone else since you don't have to get up? You're not helping convince anyone you're not dumb.

So in all of your time flying first and business, you never noticed that you can't lean against a window? That seems likely. Snicker.

Okay I think I get it now. The doctor didn't realize they had an option for lie flat seats, so assumed the best option for a seat with little recline was a window seat where the person with back issues could lean against the fuselage. Lie flats are pretty uncommon for domestic planes. And the agent didn't understand the nuances of different seat configurations either- this type of detail is something agents often get wrong.

OP, call United and explain, and say you are fine with moving back to your original seats. The recline and lie flat option will meet the requirement to "off load pressure from the lower back" as per the doctors note.

But they fly business or first ALL THE TIME! Didn't you see? They're super experienced flyers. So experienced that they have to crowdsource a non-question.

Since OP flies business or first all the time you'd think she would have noticed they are lay flat seats. She's just dim.

+1 This. I fly all the time, and airlines don't assign two seats to one person.

[Anonymous]

This whole scenario is absurd. But also no one is coming to get OP’s seat, even if they originally selected it and hoped to get it. Seats can be changed by the airline at any time, as OP herself notes. It’s pretty annoying of OP to have claimed this specific need when it makes no sense as each first class seat here is identical and there is no leaning on anything, but it is what it is. OP doesn’t need to call or make any changes. And if you’re on the plane, OP, and someone wants to fight you about it (because maybe they have their own good reason for wanting that seat) you could also graciously give up your seats since it’s clear that your husband doesn’t need a window seat!

YES! A middle seat in the middle row sounds perfect for someone with a back issue. They'd never ever have to get up. The aisle people would just use their own aisles.

Yes but the doctor said we need to keep pressure off the lower back and to lean and get a window seat. That's what the doctor said until full recovery. We just are following the doctor note for air travel.

And you are doing so in a manner that demonstrates you both are completely self-centered.

I can see doing this if it is an emergency, but if it is just a flight you are taking for non-emergency reasons, then tough. Book a different flight. If the flight you want doesn't have the seat you want, too bad. To be as audacious as you are in bumping and inconveniencing someone else (someone with foresight), just shows you are a pretty obnoxious human being.

You can’t lean against the side of the plane in any kind of first class seat unless you bend your spine totally to the side. I have done much PT for my lower back and none of them ever said “hey, you should sit crooked and lean against the wall and that will fix you”
