I read in the Continental OnePass forum about a trick to get seats selected online that the system told you weren't available, and decided to try to do it on NW's seat selector.

It's really simple to accomplish. Hover over a seat that the system will let you choose, so you can copy the link location to get the syntax. Then paste it into the address bar, and change the seat location in the paste to the one you want, and hit enter.

I just did this to get myself one of the handicapped reserved seats. What does anyone think are the chances that NW will leave this alone, or will I get bumped?
