I have asked some of the SEA WC staff about this as I've had my eye on taking a SEA-LHR flight to your part of the world, Trappy. Sue and Russ from the SEA WC seem to think that most GA's on International Flights require PE's to pay for their once free OP-UP's into WBC (to free up coach seats for the oversold situations) with $$$ or miles. Have OP-UP's gone the way of the Doh Doh bird too?

Op-ups still happen once in a while but are few and far between. Guess it's better than bumping from NW's perspective, right?
