Hi,
on a not-so-recent-anymore SYD-NRT flight (non-refurbished 747) I was sitting as Y passenger on one of the Y+ seats. Before departure a FA was talking to a lady a couple of rows away from me (unfortunately I could not hear anything). Afterwards she stood up and walked to the back, so clearly to a standard Y seat. Her seat was taken by a gentleman escorted by the same FA. When the passenger from the back sat down on his new seat, the FA was talking to him for quite a bit.
My and me seat-mate had no idea what just happened, I could not imagine anyone would be so rude just sitting himself on a Y+ seat before take off and successfully directing the actual occupant to her Y seat. But would Qantas send a Y passenger to a worse seat to make space for some elites in Y? Something else I could not imagine. Any ideas?
