Did anyone purchase a seat on the new SEA-DTW that actually WANTS to go to DTW?

Well I met up with Kyunbit, but not any of the other FT'ers on the flight. I saw several people who were on the plane both ways, two of who were in the same row on the outbound. But, no idea who was who, or if they are on here.

I'm on the flight next Saturday by myself, and I'm pretty shy, but I welcome anyone to come chat with me! I'm sitting in 6F on the way to DTW, and 9F on the way back.
Before the flight, I'll likely be sitting by a power outlet, killing time on my iPad. Come entertain me.

Look out for FT luggage tags.
Someone should ask for the FA to have folks put their hands in the air for turns...for kicks

I just booked my husband on the 10/25 flight purely for the miles (going and returning the same day) for $270/RT, because this flight with the double elite qualifying miles will push him into Gold 75K, so worth the $270 airfare! 
He is just going to buy WiFi and work on each flight. He said he will call the flights his "flying office" for the day.

Yah, would be interesting to find out how many people on those flights are doing mileage runs!
I hope he can get upgraded to F given he is Gold, but with how many Gold and 75K's probably on those flights, I give it a slim chance. I snagged him window seats for both flights, row 10 and row 32 (the last window seats available for both flights. There were no aisle seats open at all, only middle seats & these last window seats I got him). He is not thrilled about row 32 (at least it's not the VERY last row), but a window at row 32 is better than a middle seat closer to the front!

This also ensures that she maintains the same status as me...

I don't want to go through the hassle of finding someone to take them where they need to go that day, etc. Plus, I have already hit MVP for next year. I'm no where near Gold, so this flight wouldn't make a difference in trying to get to Gold for me. BUT, it sounds like a fun idea!

Anyone doing the DTW run today? I noticed it's running about an hour late out of DTW but arrived early....just wondered if it went mx or something.

My First MR (x2) and First Status
I will be on the SEA - DTW RT back to back on Oct 28 and 29. I am actually starting and ending in PDX both days.
If you want to say hello to a grandma newbie I will have a purple carry on and will be on an i-pad.
FYI - only the 25th, 28th, and 29th are left for a one day trip.
I don't see a way to add it to the Wiki.
