Last night on my flight from Atlanta to Kansas City I was last to board the flight. There were easily over 60 seats open when I boarded the plane but I have a particular seat that I sit in when I fly regardless of the airline, even if I have to pay for the seat. And generally it's open because no one likes sitting in the very back of the plane. My preferred seat is the LAST row on the right side (if you are facing the back) by the window. Well of course I get excited when I see that my seat is still open so I make my way to the very back, stick my bag under the seat, fasten my seatbelt, and I am ready to fly. Well that's when the FA came from the back work area and told me I had to move. So I asked her why did I have to move, and she told me because she WANTED to sit there. That's the only answer she could give. The other flight attendant was sitting in the last row across the aisle so I guess they just wanted to chitchat. No explanation was ever given. I asked the FA was it a particular seat that I needed to sit in, and she said ANY other seat but not that one and then she shooed me away with her hands. So I gathered my belongings, didn't make a scene and I moved a few rows up. I was very aggitated and my anxiety was on overdrive by this time. I sit in the back of the plane in that seat because it keeps me calm during the flight. Well of course nights of all nights no sooner than I get myself calmed down, we hit turbulence. I immediately became anxious and aggitated again enough to where I had to take a pill to settle down my nerves.This pill makes me drowsy so of course that made for a long ride home. This may sound weird but when I am in my "prefered seat" turbulence doesn't bother me at all.I remain calm, say a short prayer, and everything is fine. So I am wondering what should I do, if anything about this situation? What should I expect my outcome to be? Letter of apology, compensation of some sort? Your input is welcomed.
