Gadling's guide to getting betters seats: restrictions and openings {Gadling}

May 16th 2009 1:16PM I hope all of you describing your entitlement to the best seats and first class upgrades are paying for your tickets YOURSELVES! As someone who for the last decade in retirement pays for his own ticket, I am a tad tired sitting next to a barely post teenager whose company pays for them to fly weekly and who winds up in first class next to my $1200 seat, guzzles their free booze until they can't speak in sentences, and spends their three hours playing video games or watching a movie on their company-purchaseed laptop. Fairness just isn't part of the airline industry.
