I'm not sure I see the point of AS doing once a day service to new cities. Many potential passengers need a choice of departure/arrival times as well as hope of being rebooked during IROPs onto some flight that's relatively soon so that one's arrival/departure isn't necessarily delayed to the next day at best.

the problem with Miles and Money bookings is that you can only select “Lowest available” or “Refundable” ... need to call the MVPG desk tomorrow ($23 to upfare G—>K is way better than $79 to buy the Premium seat outright)

I screwed up my booking initially, I did the wrong date
But AS was able to fix my blunder thankfully.
Certain status levels allow pre-selection of PE seats based off fare class purchased.

Maybe I’ll cancel my return and take the Pennsylvania RR up to NYC or something. Had considered renting a car and seeing flight 93 memorial as well.

Pretty strange... The seat map on the inaugural only shows 1 seat not selected in F, but AS says there are 2 F seats left for purchase. Equally surprising is that GGUs are still available on the flight even though there are only 1-2 seats in F left.

So, F=U on this flight, and probably most, if not all seats were upgraded?
