Brilliant:

Quote
Mr. O'Leary was struck by another bit of airline ingenuity: When a first-class customer didn't show up, the group auctioned off the seat upgrade before pushing back from the gate.

Airlines SO should do this for increased revenue. Of course, those of us with elite memberships will likely get our complimentary upgrades slashed.

Otherwise known as SMD III (Third Star Mega DO), organized and attended by members of probably the 2 biggest FF forums, flyertalk and milepoint.

If you think its cool and have a week off in Jan. the first OWMD (One World Mega Do) will be the week of Jan 23.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I hope it was a free wall street journal ;D

"Data collected for airlines in years past by travel researcher Stanley Plog shows that an empty middle seat significantly improved the flight experience" Stanley Plog is one smart man. Einstein!
