We flew LAS - MCO today #1538. We got A52 & A53 with EBCI.
This was a non-stop flight, but originated in SAN with plenty of folks continuing and probably lots connecting and boarding in front of us. We had a crap-load of pre-boarders that needed "extra time / help" getting onboard but somehow managed to get off before us. It was a very full flight with 2 or 3 empty seats at most. We got 11B & 11C and were happy when a slender young woman took the window seat - and slept most of the flight like we did. It's a bummer to come home from Vegas and more room would have been nice, but it worked out OK.

The following are for 4 RR 1.0 SA's and 1 CP. All 5 ended up being in order even though they were on different PNR's:
Jul 16 - DEN to MCO A27 - A31
Plane change - MCO to ECP A21 - A25
Jul 23 - ECP to MCO A26 - A30
Plane change - MCO to DEN A21 - A25
Must not have been many A Listers or people buying EBCI on those routes since they were all non-rev flights.
I specifically liked the last 3 flights because the we had the entire 5 spots between the lineup poles for ourselves.

LAS-OAK, Saturday afternoon, sold out flight -> A-21. Got my exit row aisle seat as there did not appear to be any BS travelers, so well worth $10 
Note: Non-EBCI who checked in at T-23 received B4, B5 & B6.

Purchased tickets during the Birthday sale (6-22) for Flight on 9-14.
TUS-DEN #388 A-20 & A-21
DEN-PDX #1234 A-20 & A-21
In our opinion, this is still a good value for $20. Not to incite anyone, but notice that we each paid for EBCI, no SEAT-SAVING from us.

TPA-LAS my girlfriend and I got A58 and A59
LAS-TPA we got A57 and A58
Is this normal for flying to and from LAS? It seemed like a lot of people ahead of me didnt get the EBCI we felt like we were shafted. Any ideas?

I'll never pay for EBCI and won't ever get on the A-list, but think you'll be amused by what happened yesterday. I had BP #B-16 for a flight leaving MDW yesterday. Went to my assigned position and found that a different passenger (A-lister) who was boarding the same flight ALSO HAD B-16. He had been re-booked onto this flight after changing plans.
We both got on, but it took some manual intervention by the ramp agent.
Just waiting for the day when WN announces they've found a way to put more than 137 pax on a 737...just stack two to a seat like in the recent "lap child" thread.
