I really, really don't understand the airlines' problem with this. The seat was paid for, if nobody is in it, they save a fraction of a penny on fuel. What do they lose if the seat is empty vs the person still sitting in it? They get the exact same revenue. I'm so confused.

They lose out on selling more expensive fares.

Then why on earth did they accept to sell me the cheaper fare?
