Please re-read what I wrote.
No one ever said there was no availability. What was said was that I couldn't be put into the seat I wanted because there were other people who needed their seats assigned and would be assigned them at the gate. Okay…and what would stop the agent from assigning
me that seat right now before those saver (not "economical" as she called them lol) seat passengers showed up at the gate 6 hours from now? The answer, of course, was nothing, which is why she did it five minutes later.
