Taking a solo trip in March.

Got my SW tickets, (made a few changes to better times), and every single time I ignored the EBC.

It's just me, I have an app, while I prefer a window or aisle I'm not going to be devestated if I'm in the middle, I'm pretty good about checking in right on the 24 hour mark...etc.

I'm 2 months and 2 weeks out and I begin to second guess....what if it's oversold, what if there is a plane load of people already on the flight, what if it's preboard and family boarding mayham.....:scared1:

:laughing: It's $25 dollars, I ponied up for the EBC. Now I could just kick myself for not doing it over a month ago when I bought the darn tickets in the first place.

I swear I'm a marketing departments dream. I can't resist the upsale.
 
I always hope for oversold flights.
In Feb our flight was over sold. They gave us $400 each and put us on a flight three hours later that went to Chicago. Got to Chicago and my flight was oversold again by one person I gave up my seat and I got $200. Husband had to wait in Cleveland for me to arrive one hour later. So we had a total of $1000 to take more Disney trip.

You will have a great time don't fret!!!!!!!!!!! You are going to Disney how bad can it be :)

It never fails that they offer that kind of thing up when I have time constraints. However if I had the time I'd probably totally do it especially for another free flight or two.
 
We always offer to stay behind….But they never take us up for a family of 5. They always want 1 or 2 people. I am thinking of buying early bird boarding for our trip home.

That's kind of my main thought, MCO is always busy and I have a midday flight. I probably could have just bought my flight back, but I have two legs on two planes on the way in so it also has some challenges.

Besides I'm more likely to forget to check in while walking around the parks.
