ITA! On my most recent flight my boarding numbers were B46 and B22 (layover). A sat in an exit aisle on the B46 leg and an aisle on the B22. I cannot imagine that the OP with priority boarding (A1-A15) had to sit ALL the way in the back of the plane (even with the pre-boards and those remaining from previous flight).
OP - You paid $600 for 3hr flight and didn't read the fare details? For $200 an hour for air fare you should have definitely indulged in the premium "free" drink offer and asked for an extra bag of pretzels and nuts.
