For giggles I just checked to see the availability in first for my flight tomorrow morning to IAH. I checked in a minute or two after it was available and ended up being SEQ 6, most likely due to connecting passengers.
ITN indicates: A7 D7 Z7 Y9 H9 K9 N9 B9 O9 V9 U9 Q9 I9 S9 W9 T9
CO Seat Map: 5 open seats
I have exit row for this leg & an EUA for the second leg, so I am not complaining. I am, however, interested in seeing the "logic" behind the revenue management for this flight. Yes, I am on a riff-raff fare but do they really think they are going to get this many walk-ups?
