I appear to have been on this forum a few years longer than the commenter and am generally capable of deciding whether a question deserves a separate thread or not, depending on how it will affect the search space etc.

These are two (only two!) quite separate questions and someone searching for an answer to one or another in the future is more likely to locate the information they need if they are separate, IMHO (which also happens to be as a search specialist). I generally attempt to design my questions to perform well for someone searching for the same information I'm searching for -- that is, to perform well for another person coming along attempting the same information-retrieval task.

The question of why AF does not designate these seats as premium in some way, seems to be entirely different than whether they and/or other seats are preferable; the only overlap is that the text contains similar words, while the meaning and significance of those words and the information they solicit has almost no overlap.

Please police your own behavior and leave policing myself to me.

Merci beaucoup.
