On the PHX-PSP (no J seats since its a CRJ900) leg there were only so-called "Choice Seats" left and I had to fork over another $5....
What a joke.
Glad I left when I could.
They aren't the only airline to do this... UA does it. CO does it to a certain degree as well (since they have their extra leg room seats).
I do have a question though. How did you get a one way award? US doesn't offer one way awards.
