Swapping Elite(premium economy)/RL seats mid flight?
I was thinking of booking 2 Elite (premium economy) class tickets, and upgrading my wife to RL.

When she is done sleeping (and will be watching movie/TV), it is possible for us to swap seats, and then I sleep in RL for a while?

Thanks.

If I am upgraded to RL, can I give her my seat in RL, and I sit in her seat in Elite for the entire flight?

why not? Just ask the CP. I’ve swapped with friends and family in economy for mealtimes when I was in RL because I wasn’t hungry.

Ask the CP first. I've seen it on Youtube and in real life, they generally will allow it as long as you don't disrupt the other pax and only one of you is in the front at a time(i.e. no visitation).
