I almost always book through the official site, but for this particular trip I had to book through Expedia in order to get the itinerary I needed (fly out on United, back on Frontier). At least I was able to put my ER number in my itinerary.
Irrespective of that, though, is my point about the FA telling me she couldn't move me (I was just trying to be nice, I would have taken one of the seats farther back that the family vacated, it's just that so many seats were open in front of me), even though I was Summit. If Summits get those seats free, then why couldn't she move me?
