I heard a bunch of announcements early this morning looking for volunteers for various flights. I took the bump on the BUR flight. The gate agent didn't think she could get me into So. Cal anytime soon until I suggested SEA-SUN-LAX. She was skeptical about the routing at first, but it worked like a charm. Glad I did my homework!

Hopefully others got to where they needed to be...it was definitely busy in the early AM.
