We got there almost 4 hours early. Wasn't oversold (I asked very nicely), we flew in the back, 2 seater couples row. Got on, went to sleep, woke just in time for breakfast. So, pretty good flight for us. Maybe on trip home

Oh, one last thing - boarding. I know that as Silver, we get "priority" boarding. So I was expecting some kind of announcement for Business or Priority after preboards and families with children. There wasn't, it went from families to C
Group. By the time I realized there wasn't any special call, there were several dozens of people rushing the door. We did see a could go to the side of the lines with the masses and get right on, so that's what we did. Not like it mattered a lot, since we were so far back, but it could have I been tough since so many people had rather "large" carry on items. Will know better for next flight. (I guess Business either goes on last or through a different door.)
