Well, I'm not sure if he was kidding, or if it would have even gone through, but, I SURELY wasn't gettin' stuck in AF Y - possible middle seat - from CDG/LAX!!! It's certainly true that GAs have more clout to make off the wall changes than phone agents, for some reason.

At this point, I don't really remember the outcome of the VDB, It's just a cute little story.
I would have taken it just for the LOLs (not to mention the 6500 extra MQMs). That would be almost as bad (by ratio) as my most extreme SDC (so far) (over 4:1 on MQMs, over 10:1 on miles flown).
