One of the more curious "benefits" of FLY is that the seat map is now open until the flight departs.

It's been fascinating to watch the 183 tonight (LHR-JFK). It's pretty damn full ... and it's been very interesting to watch each cabin fill up - which seats are selected in what order etc.

I've watched one person get op-upped to F ... yes - I'm talking about you 20D ...

Of course - I'm watching it because I know it's busy and I'm hoping I might get that Op-up myself.

But we've gone from 5 seats free in J, 3 in W and several in Y to nothing in Y, 1 in W (which has remained stubbornly unselected) and down to 1 in J.

And as I've been typing - 3 more has just been bumped to F - lucky you 13A, 14K and 60A - I'm jealous :-)
