I grabbed 1K and 2K for us, and shortly after, noticed the rest of the seats moved to assigned. The aircraft was booked completely full based on the rest of the seating chart, so I presumed those would stick...and they did. We checked in, checked bags, and boarded in those seats. Wow, they were fantastic. I noticed everyone else in the cabin seemed savvy to the seats too. My spouse and one other spouse were verbally raving about the seats, and the rest of us were enjoying the fruits of our seat hack labors.
I am a fan of FLUB! My next SAN-LHR-SAN flights seem to be selling F as an option on the 77W though, so maybe the route is becoming more high profile,
F to SAN is great! For what is a long flight, it's a real boon. FLUB is obviously nice when it happens too
Historically SAN has been up and down like a yo-yo over the past few years with respect to having actual First sold on the route. Fingers crossed First comes back again !
