Its not so much someone is in your seat when you board, the problem arises when the aircraft has taken off and some local personnel from either Dubai or Doha realize there are empty seats in B/C or F/C and just come through the curtain and sit down.

Four weeks ago travelling from Doha to Dubai three males all wearing Dishdash Arab clothing came through the curtain on the 777-300 and took the three seats in the middle of the cabin?? The Senior Purser came to try and move them to no avail. They just laughed at him. Very embarrassing. On arrival in Dubai no security waitng at the aircraft on arrival.(Very Poor)
Is this another case of this is Dubai and normal rules don't apply? In which case can we all behave like this?
