It is a sales strategy of various airlines to increase the occupancy rate by paying the full price or even a discounted price of the economy class, that is, to enjoy the treatment of first class. This is a sales tactic used by airlines to increase ridership. All airlines have now introduced this type of cabin, with Hainan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Air China offering this type of cabin.
