PS-This was the correct answer. I got to SEA very early this morning to get on the standby list, and thank goodness I did because SEA was a zoo with the Mr. Chickens not being able to process leap year. All passengers had to manually check in with an agent, and that made it easy to ask for and get on the standby list. Thus, the direct flight was broken up with two different flight numbers. Onto LHR and MUC.

Thanks for the ideas.
