Hello from the SEA WC!
So, I'm flying in Y on an M fare SEA-AMS-BCN in about an hour and a half. Full flight, bad seat ("but it's an exit row!"), DC-10. Not exactly anticipating the experience.
I don't really have to be back in BCN until Monday so I just wandered up to the gate and asked if they needed any volunteers. Why yes, as a matter of fact they do need any volunteers!
So I get to spend an hour more in the WC, fly in F to MEM, and then have a nice-ish WBC seat on my first 767 to AMS. I wind up in BCN a few hours later, got upgraded the entire way, pick up about another 1500 miles, AND got $750 to boot.
