Hopping around the PNW on full flights
About 3 weeks ago I booked my ticket home to BOI for Christmas. At the time the cheapest option was going SEA-SFO-BOI on 12/23 on UA with a return of BOI-GEG-SEA-PDX on 12/27 on AS. This itinerary was booked on Orbitz.
Looking at loads on ExpertFlyer no more seats are being sold on GEG-SEA and SEA-PDX on my return trip. Direct PDX-BOI flights are showing at minimum 7 seats available for sale.
Would AS rather have me take a direct flight that is not oversold rather than jump around the Pacific NW on 3 flights (2 sold out)?
Just curious if anyone had any thoughts on this subject.
