Latter flight at least still shows a number of empty seats, giving hope for some folks on the u/g list.
And now 8/24 IAD-FRA. Lots of empty seats.

Those lying b@stards. I had no idea about this thread. I figured that 777 was used just for charters and with the NFL picking up the season, no way would I experience it. Let the Bears ride it, right?

Way.

Last night checked in for my sUA 777 UA989 IAD to FRA and it wouldn't give me a BP, but it was still new config lie flat then. And no GF for cash available (been checking it for the past two weeks since I booked).

I had insomnia (always before long haul) wake up, realize that I am still in the middle section of 4 and check the reservation. I have been moved from row 6 to 11F. WTH. Sure enough it is 2-3-2. Sure enough FT confirms this nightmare.

The silver lining: the app offering me GF for $599. Never had it so cheap. Pulled the trigger. Unfortunately in one of the middle two, but at least I will sleep.

This is truly a new low.

There is no way this horror can get used on DEL/EWR next Saturday right?
