But thanks anyways.

Sorry. I don't think it violates any FlyerTalk rules to quote these two posts from OMNI where people who aren't OMNI-eligible yet can see them:

Thankfully I had chosen my normal A seat. I have a crick this morning from having my head stuck to the left the entire flight but it was cool to see from up in the air. We had a great view until descent into LIT as there was moderate cloud cover in the area.
