I was meant to be heading to another city in Europe in CE and that flight was still running (despite the disruptions on other flights), but I cheekily asked if I could be moved onto another flight to another city in a different country, answer was yes, but on standby. I was absolutely fine with that - I was number 1 on the standby list for CE. Roll forward a few hours - flight closed, I noticed that the CE middle seats had been filled (posted on another thread) and then got the nod from the agent in the CCR that I had a seat if I wanted it - 36F. I grabbed it with both hands. I don't care at all for the CE product, but I was very happy to get a seat on a flight that I was not meant to be on, to a city/country that I was not originally ticketed to (on a totally inflexible ticket) - all without change fee. So, thanks to all those in CE at the front who made space for me (and I guess some others) to get on the flight - I am a happy customer. I hope it shows that there is always two sides to a story
