Jul 30, 2014 at 19:01 comment added O. R. Mapper But coming back to the question: If that is actually validly possible, that passengers can get assigned several seats at a time even though paying for just one, it would seem very contradictory if ticket holders weren't allowed to switch the one seat they paid for for another one in the same price category.
Jul 30, 2014 at 18:26 comment added choster @O.R.Mapper I am speaking principally of international flights. There are of course situations where it is easy to do as you say. It is very common in the U.S., for instance, for people to move to better seats at sporting events midway through a game/match— though the most exclusive areas remain controlled for the duration.
Jul 30, 2014 at 18:19 comment added O. R. Mapper I think the initial statements about the revenue are correct, but only as long as that higher classes often/usually have empty seats. In my country, moving to a seat of a higher class in any means of public transportation (e.g. planes or trains) is forbidden (and those are frequently not fully booked out, so there would actually be a good chance of getting a seat there). On the other hand, using a train seat without paying for a seat reservation, or paying the minimum price in a theatre and then moving to an unoccupied, but more expensive seat, is accepted, as that works only at certain times.
