Yes it makes sense. You can't just sit in the first class if you didn't pay for it and then expect that people are okay with it.

- leephillips 10y agoBut surely that's between me and the airline. What if they decide to give me a free upgrade, just because I'm awesome? How does that affect you?
- joelrunyon 10y ago1. I'm sure United doesn't want to encourage behavior of people taking seats they didn't pay for (or were ticketed for). 2. This wasn't United giving them anything. They tried to take an upgrade. Were told to go to their original seat, refused and then requested to deplane.
- leephillips 10y agoI understand. I was talking about a different, hypothetical situation.
- joelrunyon 10y agoYes, but it's completely different if the airline decides to upgrade you than if YOU decide to start upgrading yourself and sitting wherever you please.
- leephillips 10y agoAbsolutely. That's why it's a different hypothetical situation, as I said.
- chrisper 10y agoWell, I am not complaining to you. I am complaining to the airline that they should do something. If you get a free upgrade then the Airline is paying for you in a sense. That is different than just sitting yourself in a different area.
- leephillips 10y agoYou said, "One of the Number 1 complaints of people who pay for Economy Plus is that airlines sometimes let regular people sit there." "Let", as in permitted. I was asking, what's the beef with this? Nothing to do with people taking seats without permission.
- chrisper 10y agoThe beef is that I paid for this and so should you. It is irrelevant how much, but the fact is you didn't pay for it, so you shouldn't sit there.
- leephillips 10y agoI don't understand. If you discover that a restaurant that you patronized (as a paying customer) gave away some food, would that outrage you?
