[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was posting from from Dallas airport yesterday. It appears my posts were deleted.

I was flying American and my first flight was late and I missed my connection. I was flying first class. Customer Service immediately booked me on a flight a few hours later. Again, first class. While the American agent was printing my boarding pass she got a message on her screen advising her to call someone. She called and was told my seat sold for an amount significantly higher than I paid (I used points). She immediately told me this when she hung up. Her supervisor arrived and was not happy I knew this. 
So the supervisor told me to hurry to another terminal, and that he would put me first on the standby list to get on that flight. I did just that and I was eighth on the standby list and did not get on the flight.  
So how it works you go from one flight to the next and try to get on from the standby list. However, you can only put yourself on one standby list so you end up being on the end because you are put on it after you get rejected from the last flight.
I did end up getting on a flight at 3 PM. I had a window seat on the exit aisle next to two extremely obese men. When I went to the restroom, I was talking to two flight attendants sitting in the jumpseat about this nightmare.  They said, oh, you were the passenger in 2A. They ended up bringing me a double vodka and cranberry juice. It was very nice of them and I appreciated the gesture.  I learned a lot yesterday. 
The not funny part was when we got off the plane I saw the guy who was sitting next to me was carrying 2 cats in some cat carryon bag. I am highly allergic to cats. The good news is the sore throat, itchy ears and runny nose was not a sign that I was getting sick. It was cats on a plane.

How did they know your seat assignment on an earlier flight? Weird.

They didn't. Her post is completely non-sensical and she wasn't even flying Southwest. Just another random poster who joins a thread to share an off-topic story. [/quote]
