Class division.
I don't like class divisions, it makes me think of Victorian times.We still have first class on trains!
I have sat there and not been moved by the ticket inspector.
At JFK, trying to check our cases in, we were told to get in line with economy.
There was no one waiting!
Then as we were about to join the queue, we were called back, as one of my son's needs assistance.
On the plane I saw that first class gets pampered with champagne once seated!
So OK, they pay more, words have been changed, First, Business, then Economy.
It is in theory first, second class, then low class! It annoys me!
Maybe I am getting old.
What are your thoughts?

Never paid for the loo!
Is that Ryanair?
Never flown with them.

Re: Class division.
My friend was talking about this a while back.He boarded a train and all the standard seats were taken with people standing also. There were plenty of empty seats in the first class carriage so he took a seat there. A ticket inspector came round and asked him to move to second class but my mate stood his ground and said "I've paid for a seat and as there are no seats in second class, I'll sit here. If anyone has reserved this seat I will give it up, but otherwise I'm staying put".
I believe the conductor let him stay where he was.
I've had no problems on planes as I make sure I know what my entitlements when I book a flight: Extra leg room, correct baggage allowance etc. If I paid for standard 'economy' that is what I'd expect, nothing more.

Re: Class division.
We would all pay for a better service if we could.But as Floydy pointed out if there are no seats available then I can see no reason not to use empty first class. But I am sure that even in second class you are only entitled to seat if you reserve it otherwise the cost of your ticket does not actually mean that a seat will be available.

Imagine booking a hotel and not getting a bed.
