We had paid $64 extra per person for pre selecting our seats. This would guarantee we would be sitting together (One seat next to the window and the other on the aisle). They booked us on their next flight and gave us two aisle seats without reimbursing us for the extra cost of our old seats. They didn't offer us anything to make up for this inconvenience. Our regular tickets were premium economy. It would have made perfect sense to upgrade us to business class since they had plenty of empty seats
Once a flight has departed, and you are marked no show for any segment, but are reaccomadated with the next departure out, that agents working on the rebooking, will try to get you seats, but if you paid for but if they are no available, you will be given what ever they have leftover. Depending on what is available at that time.
