You can also ask a United representative at the gate about changing your seat or buying Economy Plus® seating, if available and if you haven't bought a Basic Economy ticket. It's sometimes possible to change seats once you're on board the aircraft, but please don't change seats without asking a flight attendant first.
Was it OK to ask for the seat change?

Can you ask to change seats on a flight?
If you are proposing to trade seats because you want to be near your spouse or friends, or have a very tight layover, and you are offering a comparable seat (aisle for an aisle, window for a window), it's always worth the ask and is generally viewed as acceptable.
Can a flight attendant ask you to switch seats?
You're not generally obliged to give up your seat(though the crew can insist you love if operational reasons require it, this may be to accommodate a child with an adult, or for a disabled passenger). Sometimes I change seats to help them out, sometimes I don't.
Can I ask the gate agent to change my seat?
How much does it cost to change a seat?
While reupholstering can have a big impact on your vehicle's style, it also comes with a big price tag. In most cases, the average cost of reupholstering is about $250-$750 per seat. That's a big price range, but there are a lot of factors that go into the cost of reupholstering.

Can you change car seats?
As your child grows, you might have to switch from using a smaller rear-facing-only car seat to using a bigger rear-facing convertible car seat that can hold a larger child, first rear-facing then forward-facing. After you turn the seat forward, adjust the harness, make it more upright, and attach the top tether.
When should I change my seat?
A child must move out of an infant car seat once they've reached the height limit, weight limit, or when there's less than 1 inch from the top of the seat and your child's head. If your child has hit any of these milestones, congratulations! Moving to a convertible car seat in the rear-facing mode is the next step.
