[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse has a back injury and needs a window seat to minimize movement. We originally booked middle seats because no window seats were available, then asked the airline to reassign us into a window seat for medical reasons. They’ve confirmed the swap.

[b]Our original seats were in the middle of the 2‑4‑2 first‑class cabin—meaning the middle‑seat passenger would have to get up whenever either the aisle or window neighbor needs to pass.[/b]

When we board, the original window‑seat passenger may ask us to switch back. Should we simply say, “The airline reassigned us,” and avoid discussing medical details? Or pretend we don’t know anything and let the flight attendant handle any complaints? I really don’t want to deal with another passenger or explain the situation on this four‑hour flight. Any advice?[/quote]

The bolded makes absolutely no sense, and calls into question the OP's entire rationale for the seat switch.  Makes me think s/he is gaming the system.  [/quote]
