Because CO was in the spirit of giving yesterday, I asked for but did not receive the DL SEA-JFK flight (which works better for me as my family is on Long Island). However, having gotten to the airport only an hour before my flight (and standing in the line for 45 minutes, I kid you not), I was out of luck. The agent was more than willing to move me to DL but every flight was sold out she said. AS was out of luck and so were NW and DL. I know they rebooked some people on UA (through DEN) who were going to places like BOS.

Her comment to me was that CO took basically every open seat on an airline as soon as the 730 was put up with a 4 hour initial delay (this is what I'm told).

BTW...for the SEA-EWR flights yesterday:
The 730a departed at 116pm and arrived at 948pm
The 1045a departed at 1152am and arrived at 746pm
The 1155a departed at 130pm (lie) and arrived at 1045pm

The agents must have put into the computer that the 1155a left the gate at 130pm, but it didn't. We sat at the gate for 1hr05mins before pushing back. We then took off and got re-routed in the air over upstate NY to go around some t'storms.

The 1045a was the winner yesterday

PS - AS doesn't help you much. They have a flight scheduled to leave at 130pm. I looked up the status and it didn't depart until 418p, arriving in EWR at 1225am.
