Did Jetblue just BS me? [seat assignment ?]
I am here at FLL trying to catch a flight to LGB this evening. At the time I bought these tickets about 3 wks ago via Orbitz I got a message saying "seats cannot be selected, airline is assigning at check in"... so ok, no prob. I show up at checkin 3 hrs early (earliest possible when the check in window opens) and the only seats on the plane are 2 middle seats. They then tell me that no other seats except EML (extra legroom) are available and those are extra $45.
They tell me all seats are booked up and my request for a window or aisle cannot be accommodated. This is the VERY first time in 15 years of flying that I have had my request for a window/aisle not accommodated when showing up so early at the airport.
I find it extremely odd that the entire plane has chosen their seats with 3 hours left to check in. What is going on here?
