Return ended up overbooked in Y and PE and my wife and I got upgraded to J. Walked back to PE to see at least 2 open seats left. Must have had some last minute no shows or something strange was going on with seat management. At least we got to keep the upgrade :-)
not ur fault nor ef. cx is messing with their inventory lately. it happened a few times when i saw all 9s from FAJ to MLV.... (f4a4) the day before but went into a full plane.
