>It’s always a safe bet to book seats at the front of the plane to be sure that your seat doesn’t magically disappear when you are at the gate

Why? Do they bump the rear seats first?

his 2nd one says they send a smaller plane. it'd make sense a simple algorithm would map 1a1b1c1d1e to 1a1b1c1d2a2b etc. the rear most seats get bumped.
I assume people who pay less and/or are less costly to compensate (adults, people without babies, etc) get bumped first.

The relatively new “basic economy” class instead of “economy”.

A lot of times they are narrower too, guess you want seats with a low letter too (17A vs 17G).
yeah that's why I mapped seats in the first row into the second :) maybe they just truncate the extra seats instead of move them back. i don't know
All WizzAir planes have 3-3 seatings.
