for clarification it was a bid of $160 excluding gold uplift taking it to 208. i found it strange that my flight is due to depart at 11.45 local time and I got the email at 11.46 three days out. its as if it was never even looked at and the auto email sent out the declined notification bang on the three day cut off..! still a lightly loaded flight in c. I was wondering if the fact

a. traveling with infant
b. traveling with a child with child meal request

may have both contributed to this outcome.
