Self-Upgrading is Stealing. Period. – The Gate
I can’t imagine trying to simply sneak into a higher class of service. The fact that flight attendants are too worried about the hassle of booting someone from premium economy is beyond me. If I paid 2x the cost for premium economy and someone else “self upgraded” on a cheap economy fare, I would be livid.

IHG PointBreaks Dead? Company Axes Best Promo, But Is Gone It For Good? – Miles to Memories

We’ll see where things stand when it gets closer.
