Since 3/3 I've never ridden in steerage on a "G" fare and that has been approximately 40/50 - "57's & 37's" btw LAS & IAH/DEN/ORD. 319' & 320's that's another story and I'm about 40/50% on these, especially BWI-LAX.
So it's the size of the aircraft, the time and day of the week, planning, and luck, with a few cancelled flights thrown in to totally bugger up everything.
As others have mentioned these are "Complimentary", and free, so I have no complaints.
