Does anyone have firsthand experience with a forced removal from E+? Should I expect this to happen at some calendar date sweep - like May 1st? Or am I more likely to run into trouble at checkin?
Or, do I stand any chance of gaining something for nothin', and actually holding on to the seat assignments?
(I could - and might - pony up the $49/person for two of the pax to actually buy the transcon E+........but only if necessary) Help?
.....I chickened out and called 1P line to "purchase" the E+ seats that my family were already assigned. Plane was filling up, little 'uns are 6 and 7 yo, long flight to be stuck in very back. $98 bought me some piece of mind.
Interestingly, after I made the 1P agent aware of the situation, he offered that I was free to leave everything as is and see what happens. In other words, he had no plans to remove them from E+.
