Seats in business class were empty on this long overnight flight. The economy passengers reasoned they could get a good sleep, wake to a splendid breakfast and land at Tel Aviv relaxed and refreshed. The cabin crew did not see it that way ...

When United Airlines flight UA90 took off from Newark Airport bound for Tel Aviv on January 20, 2022, all seemed normal. But then, a couple of economy class passengers decided to lift themselves up to where they truly belong, which happened to be business class.

Both sides refused to budge, and so the captain did a loop over Nova Scotia and landed the aircraft back at Newark, two hours after it took off.

If you have a ticket to the Australian Open and find yourself sitting up in the gods, you can't wander down to a corporate box and plonk yourself down just because there happens to be a few empty seats there.

Who does get upgraded? Airlines do not upgrade economy passengers just because there happen to be empty seats in business or first. What they might do if there are high-status passengers flying economy is cut them out from the herd and give them a better seat. There is a pecking order and those who have demonstrated their loyalty to the airline by flying lots and acquiring heaps of status credits are first in line.

What if economy class is full but not business? That calls for an operational upgrade, an op up in plane speaking. Again it's the platinum or gold flyers who get the nod. If there aren't enough of them around, the airline might give the call to those among the passengers who have paid the highest price for their ticket.

They upgrade a lot, it depends on how much you fly in my experience.

Aaaah the age of entitlement..newsflash,,how about no!!! Next!!!

Interesting. Three examples I am aware of lately… take a disused computer monitor home from work, take a cake that was about to be thrown out home from work, not pay at restaurant buffet due to gastric band then eat off others plates. Is there a line anywhere? Where?

Standard..

Something you would do WilliamVJ5

It’s not your seat, you didn’t pay for it. Cabin crew expected to not work in that section for the flight.

Wow..................
