Anyway, I did complain and ask to be changed. Seems the flight was just completely full and no alternative seat.
As a last resort I mentioned that this had happened once before to me and how disappointing to put me in a smokey atmosphere again, especially being a regular flyer to KL

I must have looked a bit forlorn (or the check-in lady took a 'shine' to me) as after she made a phone call I got upgraded to first class
Not many airlines upgrade from Economy to First Class. I've not experienced one like that ever since.
Needless to say I took full advantage and had a wonderful flight.
Nice read Peter, thanks....And your's Graham...all very heartwarming
