Maybe you could use a pair of bool arrays instead of one int array? You
could have loops evaluate seat numbers and assign the seats to the
passengers in their chosen section. If all the seats in a class (Economy or
First Class) evaluated true (1 - meaning occupied), you could ask the user
if they wanted a seat in another section. Just a suggestion. You'll have
to forgive me if this is stupid somehow; I haven't been at this for long.
