A UK traveler, Maddie Borge, shares her experience on an Etihad Airways flight from London to Sydney, where she successfully bid for an entire row in economy class. The innovative bidding process allows passengers to secure whole rows by paying an extra fee, often significantly lower than business class upgrades. Initially apprehensive about being seated alone, Borge delighted in having the row to herself, using the opportunity to switch seats during the flight for maximum comfort. This strategy has become popular among savvy economy travelers looking to enhance their in-flight experience without hefty costs.
"[It's] basically like business class in economy," gushed Maddie Borge, 24, in an Instagram video taking off online.
"Low key the coolest part is because I have the whole row I'm going to choose different seats to sit in for the duration," fawned the Instagrammer after getting settled into her spacious inflight accommodations.
