Passenger forced to stand throughout 7 hour flight

[deep_south]

I guess this should have stopped before departure - during the announcement of "tray tables up & arm rests down" - isn't that a standard announcement?

I remember a flight a few years ago where "a person of size" was next to me, and he said "we don't need this down, do we" and tried to lift up the arm rest - quickly followed by me saying "actually, yes we do" - which at least helped to contain him in what then became quite a restrictive area - but at least there wasn't too much "roll over".

As has been said, this was wrong at so many levels. And the cabin crew should have picked this up at their pre-departure walk through - no excuses for that, and to me that does make the airline responsible. That is when it should have been sorted.

If the PAX pays for two seats, does he (or she) get double the FF miles?

If the PAX pays for two seats, does he (or she) get double the FF miles?

This is actually a question that I have never found a satisfactory answer to. In my case, it was with respect to purchasing two extra economy seats so that I could lie down across three seats and sleep on a long flight (far cheaper than paying extortionate business class rates). While I was able to determine that the extra seats should be booked under the name of Mr. Extra Comfort Seat. It appears that no airline would provide me with FF miles for my account for these seats. Thus, they would effectively cost me more than my own seat. (I do not know whether I could open a FF account under the name of Mr. Extra Comfort Seat.)

Does anyone have a different experience?
