Galley Gossip: A question about moving from coach to first class when there are open seats {Gadling}
Jan 28th 2009 7:42AM Sue,
That's really tough. I spent about 4 years commuting weekly by air and it happened a couple times where I was wedged next to someone too large for a seat. Once I was able to move to an open seat...Which is itself is an embarassing exchange..."Umm...I'm going to find another seat because you need both of these". The other time there I sat contorted and in discomfort for about 2 hours. I didn't bother the flight attendents because I've seldom seen a problem fixed by demanding they defy the laws of physics.
Complain to the airline after your flight or while you are still on the ground. Maybe you can get a different flight or at least a big chunk of miles.
While I understand they are busy and it is a touchy subject gate agents really should look to reseat those folks where they'll cause the least problems or ask them to take a less crowded flight.
