Hi All
there are 4 of us myself, wife, son and his fiance all flying PE to Orlando.
3 tickets were booked miles and money and mine was booked at slightly higher price for cash.
There is an upgrade to UC available on my booking only for £507 total for both legs.
I don't want it myself, but could I take the offer up and swap my seat when we get on the plane so that 1 of the others could sit in my UC suite and I sit in PE
ps I snore so would keep the other UC travellers awake LOL

Yes, that would not be a problem at all. It would be just worth mentioning it to the crew as you board so they are aware.

That would be fine. You just wouldn't be able to keep switching seats during the flight

Is that a policy? (About swapping UC seats mid-flight?)
I just ask as I was on a flight a few years back and there was a family in Economy but the "dad" had a seat in UC. He spent a while up there and the wife and kids were at the back, then half way through the flight, she went up to UC for a sleep and he stayed with the kids. Thought it was a great idea!

I guess that may have been agreed and accepted by the CC but swapping within the flight so that various folks could avail themselves of the hospitality in the UC cabin over the duration of a flight would be a no-no.

Agree with all the replies on here, to swap for the entire flight is no problem.
As virginboy747 says, no "musical chairs" during the flight. If the person in UC wants to see the remainder of the party, then the UC pax gets up and walks back to PE.

A friend flew to Australia on BA with her husband and 2 teenage children. They booked 2 x F and 2 x J and shared the seats by swapping for the 2nd leg of each journey.
