Last night (AY1406) I saw/heard something I've never seen/heard before, not AY or any other carrier. I had upgraded myself, was sitting 2C (aside: checkmytrip showed 2A occupied, but I could choose it on finnair.com, and in the end there was nobody there #seatblock ). I was one of the first to board, sat there minding my business and reading. Friday night, some people had already had a few drinks, not very full flight. A youngish man with scraggy beard enters and looks around him in the business class (four rows, seven people), "Can I move there?" pointing to 4A/C. The FA says sorry no, this is business class. "Hhrmp, some business class", says he and shuffles down the aisle. A few minutes pass, and he is back.
"How much should I pay for upgrade to business class?"
"Hmm, let me ask my colleague." <points to galley>
"No, I meant how much should I pay
you."
<visible shock>
"Sorry, that is not possible at all.
At all."
