I've been on flights on some airlines where they specificly announce it's forbidden. Anyway,
seems a certain pax NET/B did so on a recent Washington-TLV flight.
Looks to me, as artcle notes, that he's right next a full flat F seat (can someone who knows the cabin confirm?). And pretty sure they wouldn't just let someone wander up to his section to take a pic -- so I'm personally seeing this as an attempt to get sympathy that he couldn't have his $150,000 private plane.
