Of course it's freakin' ridiculous 40% of the seats on a (very) short haul plane are 'premium' and only available for a surcharge worth 30% of the RT ticketprice.
Let alone the 159E upcharge for Europe "Business" Class.

I really can't imagine that many people will pay to sit in those "premium" seats. So my best guess is that these will stay empty
but will be opened as soon as the regular economy cabin will be full.
Which brings me to the next question: how will these "upgrades" be handled? Will Elite-Pax be removed from their pre-assigned seat in row 18 to be moved to the front? Or will it be random - let's say the last people to check-in will get these seats?
