Rather than A31 going to someone who paid $79 six months ago and B47 going to someone who paid $750 three days ago, reverse that.
Interesting idea, though it does go against WN’s ethos (those who check in first get better boarding, those who buy EBCI first get better boarding). That said, if you are buying a few days ahead of time for an outrageous fare, shouldn’t you be buying BS anyway? Is there any reason to buy AT plus EBCI?
