Seems a bit dodgy.. why not put the lower ticket classes on the BNE flight and throw them a $50 voucher...
Because it is not a $50 voucher that they would have to throw, but more like $1350 per person

Choice of having to pay $5400 vs zero ---- can see why they would be chosen , especially given that they only just got there a few minutes before boarding should have been completed. Good chance of having to rebook these 4 , plus have 4 empty seats , plus have to pay out $5400
