    Two flights at 6 am. Both are red. Different airports (in my case Lga vs Jfk). You choose one, don’t get on only to find out I could’ve gotten on the other oversold flight.

    Everything looks bad so you decide to no go. Only to discover you could’ve gotten on... in first.

    All set to go. Flight looks great. Already decided what to have for predeparture drink, dinner and dessert. At the last minute, sorry, this flight is weight restricted.

    One time at Dfw when a new agent is being trained. Assured all of us we’d be rolled over. Get to the new gate and we weren’t rolled over. No time to add us to the list. After the flight leaves, I’m even lower on the list because the computer thinks I was a no answer and loose my original check in time. At least two flights leave that I could’ve gotten on had I been properly rolled over.

    Like mig, have also run marathons at Dfw and Phx. I’m sure there are plenty more.

    Been there, except my airports were LAX vs LGB. I remember thinking LAX was definitely the better way to go - it wasn't.
    Keep'em Flying

    Flights are quite unpredictable nowadays.
