Even though my original call in for a seat yielded a 1-2-1 configuration and a solo seat on the side, at OLCI last night it turned out to be a 2-3-2 configuration after all (and as expected being the Saturday flight) even though it was impossible to book Comfort Class on this flight. Boarding pass also says Y and no reference to CC, and boarding it in the 3rd group. Load looked like a light load on the HKG-IST segment from the seating chart, about half the cabin filled. ...... IST-LAX was as originally booked and cabin was about 2/3rds full. Any how, 3 more hours before boarding. Passing the time in the SK lounge but will head down to the UA or TG lounge shortly once the gate number is posted.

BTW I was asked to show the cc I used to purchase the ticket with, first time this has ever happened.
