I don't fly WN that often any more. When I did a lot of short hauls a few years ago, the "occupying seat for a friend who has a higher number" thing was not so bad.
On Friday, on a long haul flight (4h45m), it was really bad. I probably had to go back 5-6 extra rows because of these friend-occupied seats.
Has anyone noticed this? It almost seems to me that GAs/FAs should somehow many some announcements to discourage that practice. If you really want to sit together, board with the lower number
Thoughts?
Thanks.
