Alaska Airlines Seat Assignment Changed Before Boarding
Alaska Airlines Seat Assignment Changed Before Boarding
Booked a window seat on Alaska Airlines weeks in advance, but when I checked in at the airport, the seat was changed to a middle one. No notification or explanation. Does this happen often, and is there usually a way to get the original seat back at the gate?
Had a trip planned with Alaska Airlines and selected a window seat when I booked. When I checked in on the app, everything looked fine. But by the time I reached the gate, the seat had changed without warning. I browsed through https://alaska-airlines.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html and saw that changes can happen due to aircraft swaps or operational needs. I asked the agent at the gate, and they were able to move me closer to my original spot. It’s worth asking politely—sometimes they can adjust it right before boarding starts.
Thanks for taking the time to write all that out. It’s helpful to have some context instead of guessing. Much appreciated.
