[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed.  The last time I did it was so two 20ish women friends could sit together.  I gave up a window for an aisle but I actually don't like aisles because of waiting people, people brushing past, the carts, etc.

My condition was that they relocate my carryon to the bin above the asker's seat.  I already boarded early and got my luggage situated.  I'm short so luggage stowing is often the worst part of my flight.  They got my luggage moved, so I did them a favor.

Money wouldn't motivate me to move unless it was $100 or more.  [b]I wouldn't want to encourage that tendency for someone to think it takes a taxi type tip to get what you want[/b].  An airplane is not a trading pit.[/quote]

You literally just said you'd consider moving for $100+ By you own admission, you will accept a tip to give someone what they want.

It's not, unless I give you enough money ($100+). So, consistent with your inconsistent statements, it is a trading pit. [/quote]

PP.  A plane shouldn't be a trading pit, but I might entertain a high $ offer on a whim.  At that price level it's not a trading pit reflecting a real market, it's a person overpaying for a luxury good and proving you have some real need.

Everyone that's so fussed about the cost of seat assignments should realize $20-$50 for the trouble doesn't compensate.

Think of it more like wergeld for my spoiled peace of mind pre-flight vs. a "market price".[/quote]
