Can you buy a whole row of airplane seats for yourself?

You can actually book more than one seat for yourself. “Poor man's first class” would be buying 3 seats in a row for yourself, cheap, and major airlines generally let you do this but you'll need to call. Cancelling tickets at the last minute, though, doesn't actually get you these empty seats.
