Or, perhaps you will luck into my situation. This past January, I was connecting back from Cordova, AK to SEA and in Anchorage, they announced that there were only 9 people on the flight and we could all sit in FC if we wanted.

3 people actually didn't!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It was a late departure arriving into SEA well after midnight but what a flight. And I still made it to 13 Coins for an omelette and hashbrowns!
