Don't see any issue as long as the FA or someone is notified so in case of emergency they know who was there in that seat.

During the flight, so that you are both using J. Or at the start, with the friend in J the whole time?

The first will not be allowed, but the second might.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just swap boarding passes. If you're both the same sex, no need to inform the crew. If different sexes, you might let the crew know.

Where it's not allowed is if you have say paid for a child fare in business class, and you want to swap an adult from economy into the business class seat.

@cowtown, what a nice friend you must be

I've actually done it a few times. My BP was J and the other pax was Y. Crew were fine but said it would be a one-way swap. No 50/50 changes half way though etc.

Done this on SQ no problem. Very much asked cabin crews permission though - I swapped with my grandmother in law so might be pretty obvious if they looked at the date of birth!
