If a waitlist is at the gate hoping that there will be space, then that is different
You are talking nonsense.

You are booked in J, but seated in Y. If the J seat opens and they move me to J, there is no "re-booking".

Changing seats is not a 'rebooking'.

This whole idea that you can upfare with no change fee is true, but has no bearing on this issue.
