EF sent me a seat alert for B777 31A from LHR to DFW on Sunday. Imagine my excitement when I realized I'd get an exit seat!
Of course, when I logged in, the seat was gone.... But the seat next to me, 24H, was now empty.... 24H had sniped my spot!
Nicely played, sir. Nicely played. Except now I have a seat open next to me. SCORE.
