Never seen this: Empty Seat In First Class
I fly weekly for my job and am lucky enough to be upgraded a good portion of my trips. Today from LAX to MSP, there was an empty seat next to me in First for the entire flight. 757, flight left LAX around 1:15 PM in the afternoon.
I got upgraded at the gate around 30 min prior to boarding. I was #1 on the list of about 25.
The FA was just as surprised as i was. She said that she had seen the list too and that she also had several non revs on board. No one ever sat in the seat. It was seat 6C. Empty seats in first are kind of pointless. You can only stretch out so much! I felt bad for whoever was on the upgrade list behind me.
To the best of my recollection: I have never seen an empty seat in first class, especially on a flight of some length.
Thoughts?
