Flew back to the states from London yesterday. Had the whole row to myself (planned it that way). People in front of me were upset that I wouldn't give up one of my seats. Nope. Slept like a baby.

I'm quite certain that they could have just taken one of the empty seats and you would have been powerless to prevent it. However the English are polite to a fault.

  Nope, they were Americans. If I would have refused the flight attendants probably wouldn't have pushed the issue. Usually they won't.

    How in the world can you refuse to have the plane's staff seat people in whatever empty seat they see fit? They are in the right to do so and you are in the wrong to act as if it's up to you to have any part in the decision. You are basically just taking advantage of the airline workers' aversion to having someone make a fuss.

      The staff didn't. They took it upon themselves to move. They asked the staff if it was ok and the staff said yes but didn't help reseat them. I love how downvoted I'm getting in this thread. LOL

        "If I would have refused the flight attendants probably wouldn't have pushed the issue. Usually they won't." As I didn't vote on your comment I can't say for sure, but probably people are downvoting you because your own statements make it sound like you're bullying busy airline staff into getting what you want even though it's not owed to you.

Did you pay for a whole row? If not, I can understand why people were upset...

  Yes i would have just sat there and the guy would have moved his legs wether he is asleep or not. Unless he paid for the row of course or was dirty / smelly

    I would have too. Guess they lacked the stomach. The airline system is full of opportunity for gaming. I you fly a lot you learn the system. The guy across the isle from me did the exact same thing.
