Multiple aircraft changes
 
I am flying to AMS via LHR today (XNA-ORD-LHR-AMS), and three times this week they have switched the 767 configuration. I was able to catch it again this morning to keep my exit seat luckily. Has this been common? Could it be oversold and are switching to have more available seats? I was hoping to be able to buy an upgrade at the gate and don't have a clue as to what is happening.

This is flight 928 (ORD-LHR)

All I know is it was frustrating......

Thanks

I had a DEN-SFO change from 2 class 767 to 3 class and back to 2. In all the shufflng I lost my upgrade. I think I got bumped out when they shifted to 3 class (fewer seats) and then they used a different system for allocating when it went back to 3 class. Annoying, and caused all sorts of other problems (like I couldn't OLCI for my return leg on a same day turnaround, so I had been kicked off the return flight before my incoming flight arrived . . . luckily for me there was room to get on even after I lost my seat).

This sounds like repeated new for old 767 swap. A recent poster mentioned the refurbed planes being on this route quite a bit lately.
