Coming back from Singapore with my family in Y yesterday, I made the mistake of shelling out my $90 for the privilege of selecting an exit row seat. Silly me. No sooner had the seat belt light gone off and it was a free for all for the quickest to jump from a standard Y seat into a spare exit row seat for nix in the centre exit seats.
Maybe I'm being a bit petty, I don't care if people swap jump into vacant seats within their cabin as a general proposition, but I felt this was a bit different. These are premium seats that QF charges extra for. However, the cabin crew didn't seem to care and the squatters remained there for entire flight. Is this normal? I haven't travelled in Y for international for quite some time so don't know if this is the norm or not.
