OAK-SLC Friday afternoon, B-27 to B-30
SLC-OAK Sunday morning, B28 to B-31
No problem finding aisle seat towards back of airplane. But I'd be nervous if I was closer to B-45.

Checked my wife in T-24 for MSP/DEN noon departure on Friday Sept 15 B-40
DEN/MSP noon departure Sept 18 C-22
We have 2 free gate upgrades left on the business card so she ended up with A-7 and A-9 , gate upgrades were done right after check in so almost T-24.
I had similar boarding spots back in late June MSP/BDL and back.
Going forward when we travel together ( Companion Pass) we are buying one EBCI ( we book as soon as the schedule is released so we should be one of the first to purchase EBCI for our flights) as I have never seen T-24 spots this bad................and as mentioned in the post above this one family boarding ( and of course pre boarders) make those T-24 boarding spots even worse.

For STL/LGB, Exit row was gone before we got close, but we got 8A/C and no one asked to sit in B (there were 15 or so empty seats and we aren't tiny folks).

You paid for Early Bird, this DP doesn't belong in this thread.

BWI-ALB flights 9/25 and 9/27.
Checked in at T-24 using the Android app on 9/24 8:35am and got A38. Thought I had done well until I boarded the flight the next day and the crew kept begging us to spread out to balance the load - only 46 pax aboard. 800-Max.
Checked in at T-24 using the Android app on 9/26 5:40pm and got A60. Didn't get the final count, but it was another flight at only 60% capacity (according to the monitors at the gate). 700 series w/ pre-Evolve interior.

ATL-DCA, 9/30. Checked in right at T-24 at 8:25am and got B1. Flight was on a 737-700 and I’d estimate about 75% full. We were told there’d be empty seats, but that some middles would be taken. Got myself an empty middle back in row 19!
