Kudos to the OP.
I too resent farcical, fallacious advertising.
The photo for C+ seating that seems to show about twice the actual knee room. (I am house hunting right now... related only in the sense that it is amazing what a photograph can do with the correct lens selection. Small rooms, and airplane seating, can be turned into a depiction of a vast auditorium with the correct lens.)
The photo for "early boarding" via your credit card membership (i.e., zone 1 boarding) that shows empty overheads and virtually no one else on the plane.
Any reference to loyalty being a two-way street.
References to the Sky Club being and restful place to work... a home away from home.

Yes. But the fact that picture interacts with the website layout to create a favorable first impression is part of why that exact photo was chosen.

Highly doubt that. Don't disagree it gives a impression that is off. However i highly doubt it ever entered the mind of the design team. It was designed to have a picture in background, and naturally parts are going to be covered depending on which tab you use.

No. 
And it doesn't enter the minds of the people at Kellogg's to put cartoon characters on cereal boxes and stack them at a child's eye level in the supermarket to get kids to cry for Frosted Flakes. And it doesn't enter the minds of a midlevel chain restaurant owner to leave a dessert picture book at the table to increase the average check size. And it doesn't enter the minds of the people at Consumer Cellular to show youngish active retirees engaging in aspirational activities in the hopes of making their target market think Consumer Cellular is for young, active retirees.
Marketing professionals are paid to have things like this enter their minds. The pictures don't accidentally, magically wind up on the site.

And, it doesn't enter the minds of the marketing folks at a sandwich chain to use a photo of a sandwich showing about one inch of contents separating the bottom and top pieces of bread... when, in reality, you're never going to see a sandwich like that.
I am starting to believe that much of advertising is crafted to just toe the line on what constitutes actionable fraud.

That is a purposefully done photo shoot. The C+ picture was also purposefully done by marketing. However the fact that a drop down covers a part of the picture isn't really something marketing can account for. In this case some part of the picture will always be covered. Click on flight status and its quite obvious it's just a matter of a dropdown covering part. The picture wasn't purposefully done to make it appear like twice the legroom. Simply a side effect from using one specific drop down tab. Happens on tons of websites.
Two different teams, two different purposes. One to market the product, one to create a useable website. Different from a ceral box where marketing the product is only thing happening.
