A system and a method for dynamic in flight seat management of an aircraft are provided. The system comprises an on board memory unit for storing the current booking status of the seats of the aircraft. Furthermore, the system comprises an output unit for providing the current booking status to a user and an input unit for receiving requests from a user to change the booking status. Therein, the system is adapted to change the booking status in real-time during the flight. In this way, passengers can book a time-limited upgrade during the flight.
