Oddly enough, CLE is also the city I'll be attempting this at tomorrow - let's hope VDB is possible. As I always do, I keep a list of possibilities with me for every flight in case of VDB, and I'll see what I can do. If I get lucky, I'll make sure to post my results.
I guess one final question, if anyone aside from/including channa is still following this discussion, is 'at the gate' the earlier I can mention VDB list to CO? Or can that be done at check-in desk as well? Thanks again for everyone's help - I'll ask these questions once and then know from here on in
