The next morning I got up and thought...hmm...I better look at my seating assingment online. Good thing I did, because they caught me. And jammed me into the B seat on the last row of the plane right by the lav!

I called the elite number to "inquire" as to why I was removed from first...and they instantly knew. I got the "Sir, you were not on an upgradable fare" response.

Ok, fair is fair, I'll fly in Y....that's what I paid for. But I really messed myself up because I was in an exit row seat before I "Y-upped" and now I'm in the back of the plane on a full flight.

So I get to the airport, ready to smell the lav for 3 hours....and oh, thank god...got a battlefield...for you guessed it....2E!!! haha.... tooo funny
