Don't they put the "no seat preference" option in a drop-down containing a list of city names or something crazy like that?


I decided I had to see this for myself. It looks like it's actually the travel insurance option, not the seat option, but close enough:

And it wouldn't let me proceed until I chose something; leaving it at the default wasn't allowed. Very tricky.


Yes! In alphabetical order no less :)


That's worthy of a "Dark Pattern" annual award.
