a belated thanks to contributors above.

I'm booked in first on a 530pm flt tmw, and there are 4 flights before me that i'm trying to get on. As recently as 3 hours ago, you could buy tickets for all four, but now the two earliest/soonest ones are listed, but showing all cabins having no availability for purchase. Mine isn't even listed for some reason.

For those with experience, should I give up on getting to the airport mighty early to try and get on those two that now appear "sold out?"

The difference could be three warm hours of sleep. I have *G, so that might help, but I think there are really 5 or 6 seats still "for sale" for those remaining flights at this time........

Any and all thoughts appreciated! happy xmas
