Made plans relatively late, and the options for getting to KOA Memorial Day weekend from PHX were pretty limited; the AS routing via SAN was best of the bunch.

Both flights there was one empty F seat at check-in. On the outbound, they held it until boarding was complete and offered it to me; I declined. On the return, they upgraded #3 ahead of us sometime in the last 12 hours before departure.

My first AS misses in a long time.
