I'm a business SLF and on a recent flight from Ancona to STN on boarding the aircraft the crew instructed the SLF not to sit in the first six rows nor the last 4 rows.
I initially thought this was so the crew had less area to clean on turnaround but during the flight they allowed SLF to sit in the front six rows if they wanted as long as they returned to their original seats prior to landing at STN .
I have heard this is something to do with "balance" but I would appreciate a Ryanair or other driver letting me in on the mystery if they would please.
