SL: Why are you militantly against a Torah Jew trying to best adhere to Shulchan Aruch EH 21:1 with a seat change request but are okay with a goy making a seat change request to sit next to a family member, away from a baby or closer to the exit to quickly make his next flight?
You’ve never demanded that the aforementioned gentile purchase a second seat. Is that demand only reserved for a poor Jew borrowing money for one seat to go to do a mitzvah such as Kibud Av V’Eim or burying a relative?
