Is there a way to create a script to scrape the thread and input the data into excel? (I'm sure there is, maybe will teach myself code later
Case sensitivity should be fixed now.

It's "possible", but the problem is no one used a standard format, so it would be very difficult.

Realistically, it wouldn't take THAT long to do it manually for the whole thread, but I hope that if we can just use this going forward, we'll quickly have enough data.

What I really want to know is am I better off (price wise) waiting until 2 hours before departure? I tried to buy an LMU at the gate once (hoping it would be cheaper or negotiable), and they said they couldn't sell me one. On the flight, I mentioned this to a FA once I saw there were empty seats, and she said that was strange, and I should go back to the gate to try again.
