Especially nice is the part about paying a little extra ($100 total) and having a confirmed flight providing space is available....makes that trip to the airport a little less stressful/anxiety filled if you're holding a flyi ticket.

I'm sure it's also about this moving quickly into a slow time of the year and CO would love to jam their cattlecars full even if it's not going to get them rich

Not sure why you gave this a thumbs up, since CO is only doing what they are legally required to do.
