I would like to think that this is indeed the case i.e. the airline has a contractual obligation to ensure that the space one has bought, whether it be Business/First/Economy or whatever, is not infringed by others but has it been put to the test? Has anyone been successfully compensated after the event should one have had to endure such compression for a whole flight?
I would happily accept being reseated elsewhere in the class that I had bought but where does one stand (or sit) if the flight is single class and fully seated?
My original post was one more of curiosity than hope but this is becoming an increasingly common problem down the back end.
