Aboard UA90
Booked flight to TLV 3 hrs ago, flight departure is in 10 minutes.
United releasing award flights same day or a few hours before departure is real! I've been testing it this past week, and relied on that trend in getting this flight, I got the last seat on the plane!!!
Gee I was thinking, it was a in economy and a middle seat no less
, but at least it gets me there (with the luxury of beyond able to book it 3 hours before departure).
At the flight help desk in the lounge attempted to see if perhaps a business seat became available due to a no-show etc. The lady at the desk who seemed quite familiar with this flight, was so surprised that I booked the fight 1 hours ago, she said the flight is so full she can't understand how I got on altogether.
I get to the plane (where I am right now), and lo and behold my seat is bulkhead and in Economy Plus!
Swiping straight by that huge line to board was a pleasure!
Thank you Dan, I love you!
