Virgin on the way back from Dubai.
I was booked into PE and had requested a window seat. When it came to check in there was a large group of ladies in front of me who wanted to be seated together in PE so much rearranging of seat requests. This left me with a seat in the middle of the middle - which isn't the best way of spending 7 hours.
I didn't even need to say anything to the check in agent when she told me that she would "see what she could do". A quick chat to the supervisor and I had an Upper Class boarding pass in my hand. I was still in the middle row with no view but, somehow, this didn't matter as much!
