Not surprising- reminded me of the time I got moved to seat 1A flying from HKG to LHR on NZ. I was literally the only person in J - and I asked the FA what’s going on and she said just wait and you’ll see…. Just before the door closes in walks One Direction all with their parents ( this was just when they got big and I didn’t know who they were). My daughters to this day are still angry at me for not getting pictures / autographs…. To me it was just four families and I slept the whole way…

The chaos that ensued when we landed is the subject for another post….
