Probably not. I’d imagine part of a connecting itin hence SEQ 1? I see this when it’s more than 36 hours for the second flight, but OLCI is open because the first flight is open.

Surprised you haven’t seen this before G

Later on it should open up more seats if you check again.

Ta and I honestly don't think I've seen that before, but that's probably because most of my trips don't get booked at such 'early stage' hence this truly feels like going on holiday and having the luxury of T36 check-in

On that note, I've double checked again (ExpertFlyer as well) and there are indeed a few seats available now (not many, though)

Altea slowly releases the seats on the premium Dash for W&B and follows a system. Unless it’s forecast full, then it just doesn’t care too much.

You should be able to grab Row 1/2 at the T-36 period. Are those seats you mention free there?

There were rumors about “Magyar LOT”, but no such thing has happened yet, except for registering the malot.hu domain. The current EU rules seem sufficient for what they’re doing in BUD now.

I've been messing up (CBA day at the office, I normally work from home on a Friday so I'm on 'work-to-rule' by mean of protest as we speak ) a little bit and swapped LH*S (I'm at 22 segments so I may as well get that done-&-dusted for another couple of years) for SK*G, which resulted in more [available] seats appearing (seat 1A was available 'through' FTL as well, though)

I've messed around with it a lot. Are you sure it's giving you more seats as FTL, I am unconvinced about it all. Try putting it back and see what happens because at this stage it might just be because it's opening up.

You can also add your SK*G to your EF and see if you see anything different.

Sorry D, what I meant is that more seats show up 'through' SK*G (rather than LH*S, which I had added in the first instance) - apologies for not being clear there. That said, I didn't know you could add the FQTV on EF ( - I'm such a dabbler ).

Just for the records, my flight was half empty (virtually every passenger enjoyed the empty seat next to them)

There we go then, aren't you happy Basia was being careful to make sure that little nose wheel wouldn't collapse (again)?

Indeed, very happy (also pleased that there was no need to go back to the gate due to issues with the ‘steering wheel’ or a ‘moving seat’ like in a couple of other instances ).

Suggestions are always welcome, always bearing in mind that FlyerTalk is an English speaking 'platform' and that most users may not necessarily care how many times the word appears in touristy area of Warsaw, Zamość or Koszalin, as long as it is easy to read and makes some sort of sense for the wider audience

(my emph)

That almost reminds me of the three great English universities - Oxford, Cambridge and Hull.
Note to G: best not to let on to the 'uninitiated' that Koszalin is indeed the centre of the universe. I know that, because someone from Koszalin told me.

Maybe that's because it was a 'premium Dash' that you were on?

Warszawa LOT Kafeteria’s Meet-Up

Peeps,

In the next couple of weeks (exact date yet to-be-decided, but it will be a Saturday for sure and I’m thinking of July 13th) I will be flying from the Federation (of Bosnia & Herzegovina) to my beloved city of Warsaw in order to make an official visit to my friend & Royal Ambassador, @yurtripper. I therefore thought that, if anyone is willing to join, it would be a great chance for yet another Kafeteria’s catch-up. The visit will mostly focus on microbreweries and ‘local’ (as of non-mainstream) pubs around the city (both myself & yurtripper know quite a few of those so you will be in safe hands... or possibly not).

@TPJ, no excuses this time and all the others (i.e. those who were at the previous catch-up in Gdańsk but also megaloman, hugolover, N1003U, marcoos and indeed anyone who’s willing to join for a good laugh, all welcome).

I'll miss you by a week! I'll be in Warsaw 6-8 July for my father's birthday, then off to Alaska for a week.
