Is it not just First but Club too? I was recently in CE with 5 passengers and the loading was 4, 1 and 1.
I was in row 2 and Gold and had no choice, First World problems I know and I asked the CSM just to capture my feedback and she said I’d prefer if you asked on boarding what was being served and ask for one to be saved. I would feel very uncomfortable doing that because when boarding crews are busy and there could be other Golds or GGL on board. Appreciate you can’t have waste. I did say to the CSM it’s a First World Problem and that in row 8 of 8 going to GIB I got my first choice and she said with larger cabins more variety is loaded hence my question is on lightly loaded First cabins will Choice be restricted?
