I can add I've moved seats fine on a 737 and some small Aeroflot (?) plane run by a Spanish airline I can't remember right now. In that last case, my friend and I asked the flight attendant since we wanted to get away from a smelly passenger. | |

If you are flying on a small aircraft, eg a turboprop, seating may be assigned to weight the aircraft properly. I've been denied moving seats due to weight distribution on third-full flights (and equally it's been fine on others.) This is not an unusual situation - these aircraft are common for short routes in some countries. I've flown them between Canberra and Melbourne and Riga and Tallinn, for example. The best answer is, always ask a flight attendant first. | |
