Delta Experiences?

Does anyone know what causes them to change your seat assignments? This has happened to me twice now for our November trip.

Has the flight time changed a little? Even a change of 5 minutes can mean new seat assignments. That has happened to me on Delta. For one trip the flight time kept ping-ponging back and forth 5 minutes, and I had to keep reselecting my seats. Or have they changed the type of plane you will be flying on?

The only times my seat assignments have changed on Delta is if they change planes. This happens most often when I book many months in advance. The further in advance you book, the more likely there will be time changes and equipment changes.

I check my reservations often and if there are seat changes, I go online and change them to what I prefer.

Only thing I can think is people calling requesting certain seats, maybe families with small children or something. Were you in an exit row or front row seat when it was changed? In that instance, it could have been an elderly person or tall and/or overweight person. Or it may even be a Delta employee flying that wants your seat if its a good one.

No, we weren't in an exit row or a front row seat.

I went back and looked at my original itinerary and don't see any flight time changes. It doesn't list the type of plane, so maybe thats it. I did do as SSRFred suggested and just went in and changed our seats to a location similar to where they were originally.
