Many airlines in the world do this. It is seen that business class seats in aircraft are more than that of economy class. Even if this is not the case, it is seen that while the Economy Class seats are full, some seats in the business class are vacant. Many people traveling by airplane often tell that even after being vacant, business class seats remain vacant, while many economy class people wanted to upgrade. After all, why do this happen, let’s know the reason for this.
Business class is often quite empty
All this is common in many airlines in the world. Leaving the season, often business classes are not full in aircraft. At the same time, seats in economy class are mostly filled. So can the airlines not adopt upgrade in such a situation. Many countries of the world, including India, have an upgrade policy in which airline gives people the option to choose upgrade from economy to business class only a few hours ago.
This is also a big reason
Some experts say that airlines have to prepare to provide many facilities for the business class. Such as arrangement of food and drinks etc. If they upgrade someone from the economy immediately to the business class, then it may cost the airlines themselves. A similar argument is also given that many airlines do not give business class tickets just before the flight.

Upgrade remained a rare option
At the same time, many experts say that the free upgrade lightens the quality of any product. The process of free upgrade is very rare under this rule. Such facilities are given to special occasions and special customers and often it is also an automatic feature.
But it is not usually upgraded to the flight itself. Nevertheless, exceptions are seen, when the airline has increased the seats of economy more than the capacity, then the airline definitely makes free upgrade due to responsibility. This is because they may cost additional passengers to stay in the hotel and send them from the next flight to them.
