Saw this happen myself on Saturday coming back from LCA, a couple of guys moved 4 rows forward to occupy the last row of CE seats, within only a few minutes they were back in their ET seats, although they did take the cushions with them and go back on 2 further missions for cushions for the family! O/T - LCA-LHR wasn't too bad, had a great crew on the way back! Don't know what the fuss is about - Grrr Larnaca indeed!!

Can't see why you would bother on SH flights when seats are no different, but on LH I can see why you would risk it.

In line with onaswan and LTN Phobia said earlier, I recall a few years ago on a CW flight to EBB a couple of guys were moved in to our cabin as their seats were wet, they leant across the isle and asked if we wanted them to order any extra drinks for us as they did not drink. Was in 2 minds as to see if we could appoint them as unofficial butlers for the flight!
