I work woith a certain British Airline that’s started doing this, and I feel the whole idea whiffs a bit. When you pay, you state you are able to assist. If you turn up at the airport a sweating hulk with oxygen tanks strapped to your wheelchair, no, you don’t get a refund and you sit where you’re told.

I only deal with CO 757s. Row 7 and 16 are certainly worth paying a few $$ more for, but I wonder if they’ll admit row exit row 15 has the extra legroom but non reclining seats ?

Seems a bit shady to charge for something that’s a requirement to have in the first place, will airlines be charging for having a blast on the oxygen masks next ?
