After months and months of AA Super 80s (super in who's mind?) from ORD to DEN, I was off for a (work) weekend in SFO. When I booked my flt on AA.COM (1000 extra miles) the 'puter assigned met to seat in row 8. I look at the seat map, and it is a BC seat and a coach fare. (767 I think.) Great deal. I assume that these seats are saved for Platinum and Gold members. So, I had a transatlantic quality BC seat with coach service--and no upgrade required. All in all, it was a fine ride.

My flight home was on a Super 80. One of my fellow passengers (who flys the route all the time for the weekend) warned me that the flight home would be packed. So, I called and upgraded. And let me tell you, the BC on the 767 was 10x better than the FC on the super 80.

And Catman, I agree with you on Supershuttle. They run the operations like they are doing us a favor. I was lucky I was the first hotel stop, or I might still be on the bluebus.

How exactly did that happen, J class for coach fare? Didn't the agent or anyone suspected that. Really doesn't sound right.

It was a two class flight with three class seating. I have read of that on the board here, but never experienced it. In fact, in chatting with my aisle mate, it is standard for that flight. All the folks around me were coach...but no doubt Gold or better.
