Do DL's FA's care if you swap F & Y seats during the flight?
My wife and I have an itinerary coming up for the holidays where it appears that only one of us will be upgraded for a particular flight. Has anyone ever been hassled by a DL FA if they were trading F & Y seats with their spouse (or anyone one else) during the middle of the flight?

I did this last month on a flight out of LAS. Asked at the gate, even let us both board in Zone 1. You're probably best off saying something to the boarding agent and then each just assuming the seats like they're actually yours.

I am not sure about Delta but AA claims that the TSA requires all passengers to remain in their ticketed cabins--period.

, you will discover that compromise is extremely important. Therefore if you are ever faced with a flight on a transcon and only one of you will be upgraded for 5-6 hours, trading seats mid-flight is the proper thing to do. Getting upgraded is important to all of us. Call it tacky if you wish, I call it a quality of life issue.
