It's a rule that's built into your fare class and ticket. But for any passenger, generally, airlines opt to keep these rows empty – even if it makes virtually zero difference to their bottom line. Here's the deal: In the eyes of airlines, it's stealing.
On international flights, business class is the option above economy class, and there's quite a difference. Since there are far fewer passengers in business class, you get much more attentive service and more perks. You also pay quite a bit more, with business-class airfare often costing $3,000 to $5,000 per flight.
Whether you're headed off for a short flight or a long-haul trip around the world, first class is virtually always the most comfortable part of the plane. With United, a first class ticket gives you perks from the check-in counter to baggage claim.

So is there a first class dress code?

Benefits of Flying in First ClassAnd, of course, on board, they often get extra legroom, a wider seat with a more exaggerated recline, a blanket and a pillow, a plush amenity kit, beverage service that includes alcohol, and better food (and more of it).
The things you get in the amenity kit are yours to keep. Things in the bathroom are not, unless there are clearly a lot of them – some airlines have dental kits in the business class bathrooms, which obviously you can keep.

While some choose to reuse their inventory after each flight, others have chosen onetime-use options. And, as you've probably noticed, still others don't offer the amenity at all. However, a majority of those that do offer reused blankets and pillows assure travelers that they are properly laundered.
