[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's hard to understand, OP. Let me try to help

The source you quoted, c the one you said was a law proving your point, and that you were casting shade about nobody else citing?

That's because it says the opposite of what you think it says: "any seat NOT ALREADY ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER PASSENGER."  It might be a blocked seat, but the requirement is NOT actually to bump someone. [/quote]

Here’s the official e‑CFR page spelling out the requirement to reassign (swap out) another passenger’s seat to meet your documented medical need:

14 CFR § 382.85(a)(1)(ii)
"However, you must assign to the passenger any seat, not already assigned to another passenger that accommodates the passenger’s needs, even if that seat is not available for assignment to the general passenger population at the time of the request."

This obligates the carrier to free up, by moving another passenger, any appropriate seat to honor your accommodation.[/quote]

Not already assigned. Airlines have seats blocked off for all sorts of reasons. They may have offered them third parties to sell, may be releasing them at a later time, may be holding them back for crew or upgrade bumps. The point is the law does not require the airline to revoke someone else’s assigned seat to make way for Princess and her boomer husband. [/quote]

We definitely are not boomers note how we used the chat agent. Hint under 40.[/quote]
