So? Don't complain. You were ahead of each and every passenger who checked in at T-24.
Buying EBCI doesn't magically put you close to the front of the line. If you bought your tickets (and/or EBCI) very close to your flight date, lots of people who bought theirs before you did already were ahead of you. Some flights seem to get more EBCI purchases than others. Like I said in the other thread, Florida flights are a perfect example of that. Florida.
FLORIDA. LOTS of people buying their tickets many months in advance, and lots of leisure or infrequent travellers worried about boarding issues and thus buying EBCI. I used MCO as the example in the other thread, but FLL is probably just the same. It happens, get over it.
