I agreed...
Sacha, first of all I'm glad you got your 777 on the way back at least...
Never seen them charge for an "upgrade" to C seats being used as Y.
In fact, I would have got up and sat there, as it is no different to moving to any other empty Y seat...
By the way, did you pay cash or with a card?
This whole business of LY using part of the C cabin for Y is a bit of a joke...
They seem to allocate these seats very randomly with no logic, and not necessarily to Gold/Platinum’s etc.
Besides the fact that if I were sat in C, and paid for it, only to discover that I could have purchased a cheap Economy ticket, and still get a business class seat I would be pretty angry, especially on a relatively short flight where I could live with downgraded soft product...
