Yea... I was just trying to get a little ahead of the jump for the AA 6040 RJ-175 flight. At the time I looked the entire F cabin was empty. Now there're 4 available seats. Was hoping to exit the airport and meet friends for dinner by taking earlier flight. But now... Don't think I will have time or want to. I scored the confirmed upgrade on of the last two seats available on AA 285 A319, Now that flight and the prior one (AA 6045 RJ-175) are both sold-out up front. oh well.... Next time.... Tried to get them to come up to SFO and go back same day since all three friend's accounts need activity before early March to avoid losing their miles due to inactivity. LOL
