Bombardier? Somebody else got hosed LOL
My problem is that even when I make silver status, our travel system will only buy tickets three days before departure, so I get a back middle seat 90% of the time on United, etc.
lately, I'm trying to get southwest flights. I just pay the $25 out of pocket to get Early bird and usually end up in the front 5 rows or an exit row. Money well spent imo. Plus the free direct tv helps out some.
