I got out of VIE with some fantastic tips from Axey and was shocked that my VIE-LHR flight was not full (despite the first OS VIE-LHR flight that day being cancelled, the second being full with 30 waitlisted as of midday) Was happy to have an empty middle. My seatmate told me she had been confirmed 4 days away but was called and offered the flight I was on. Stayed overnight at a LHR hotel and this morning flew LHR-IAD with my Y-C upgrade clearing despite being 6th on the WL (1K B fare). Now enjoying the LH lounge at IAD looking forward to getting home
