Flight 3225
AUS - LAS
EB A-27

I puchased EB about T-29 hours. I was going to out and buzy and didn't want to bother with T-24 checkin.

MHT-BWI 12:15pm
DS EBCI A22
DH A-list A19
Me A34 (ck in at T-24)

The flight was oversold and they were taking volunteers, except not if your destination was to BWI since all the MHT-BWI flights for the rest of the day were sold out! They were routing folks to their destination through other airports. They were offering cost of the airfare plus $200.00.

Question

MDW - BHM

My Dad had EBCI & received A48.

DW, my Mom & I were all T-24 and we received A28, A29 & A32.

What is wrong with this sequence? (WN did refund my Dad's $10 after 20 minutes on the 800 number, but they couldn't tell him what went wrong).

LAS-BDL 11/23

A21 & A22 - Fantastic BP for this flight, connections from CA.

Noticed something new on the BP. Under the BP number, it says "EARLYBIRD CHECK-IN".

Now you know if it took.

DEN-SNA 11/29 7:25 PM THE crazy day
T-23:50
A 23 -A 24 - fantastic!!! - considerering all the folks coming home from the East Coast

Similar experience as irabk mentioned: BP clearly state that it is a EBCI.

It was my first experience with EB. I stilldo not think I really need it for everyday use, but at least on holidays it might help.

I used EBCI for my holiday travel this weekend. Here are the numbers:

11/25/09
PHX - SNA
8:10 PM Departure
BP - A18

11/28/09
SNA - PHX
5:00 PM Departure
BP - A21

I purchased the EBCI the day after I bought the tickets which was back in early October.

HOU-STL, 5273, 11/29, A21 & A22

RR award and companion pass reservations made 7/20/09. Usually have good luck on T24 but this was Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend so I thought I would go ahead and try the EB, and glad I did, flight was full. Did not purchase EB until 11/20.

But if the EB is not displayed on your BP, you can fight at the gate, before you depart. Check the line, see where the rest of the EB's are grouped. This would make a convincing argument if the EB's are A20-25 and you have A51.

Score!

A24 and A25. BWI-LAS tomorrow. 3 seats remaining for sale. First time using EB. Good thing I did, because I wouldn't have made T-24 exactly. I was about 25 minutes after the T-24 rush.
