Yeah i know no one does it on international flights, but it doesn't make sense to me - an open seat is an open seat, and it gets frustrating watching a flight attendant and her boyfriend fly polaris business on a 13 hour flight, on standby, but me as 1K or GSC, spending tens of thousands of dollars each year with the airline, stay in premium economy

. OR i have to use pluspoints to get on a waitlist

Thanks all for the responses. This is very helpful
