in the rush to buy the cheap (Saver) fares when they’re available, that’s all well and good ... the problem arises at the airport, weeks or months later, when the pax have most likely forgotten about those restrictions

I know I delete the “Get ready for your trip to XXX” emails that generally show up a week or so before departure without opening them, but they might be a good mechanism to remind people who have Saver tix about the seating restrictions ... a big bold red reminder during the OLCI process as a memory jogger wouldn’t hurt either
