The airlines I use for a long time been charging extra for the extra leg

I was sat next to one last month in an ordinary seat, it was empty but I
was informed to use it I would have to pay by the cabin crew.

I'm pretty sure that AirBerlin has been offering this for at least a
year now on its long distance flights. Right now the only reference I
can find to it on their webpage is that Silver and Goldcard holders get
reduced rates for booking XL seats.

I've been on a flight where the emergency row cost extra this year. I
think it was on the now defunct Sterling, but Air Berlin is also possible.
