Agreed. I actually logged in exactly 24 hours in advance (and was first to check in, with SEQ001 on my BP) and was able to score both legs of my trip to LAS (SEA-SFO / SFO-LAS) for $50 each. In hindsight, the $50 upgrade SFO-LAS probably wasn't worth it to me, but SEA-SFO anytime. Admittedly, I did have the advantage of being able to check in the SFO-LAS leg >24 hours since I was connecting through, but I'll use the advantage.
