Anyone top that?
By the way, I cancelled and will fly out on AA tomorrow.
Wow... I would have expected that from UX, but mainline?
Were you on it last night when they returned to the gate? Did you make any attempt to be reaccommodated UAs flights? Or was the AA ticket similarly priced? First flight had two empty middles (one E+ one last row), the other two directs had half a dozen or so empty seats. All ran on UA time (5~15 minutes late).
Your flight is predictably empty (weird they've left it on the schedule... they must need the plane there at that point) but it could fill up again if something goes awry tomorrow.
I doubt one would be able to buy a seat on it, but an SDC might be possible... might be the best way for a gold to get a CPU on a midcon.
