No more legroom for the Economy Plus seats..
Thanks for your post. Did you checkin online, agent, or kiosk? As recently as Feb I was able to get any seat selection and free bag using the kiosk, while agent checkin did not. Now OLCI seems to not work. Thanks for the tip on the checked bag, I already bought it. I do wonder why sometimes they have upped us to the Econ Plus tho. I fly again next week, I will try the kiosk checkin and see how it goes.
