Got to the gate, no one was left to board, however the line to enter the plane was backed up the jetbridge into the terminal. I went up to the gate agents, and they pretty much told me I was SOL, since I didnt list on the phone. I explained that they werent able to, and they refused to make the reservation for the JS in the computer. I sat there in the boarding area for 15 minutes starring at them, watching all 3 of them sit there behind their desk and do absolutely nothing twiddling their thumbs while the flight went out with 25 seats open...
You missed the cutoff. Just as we don't waive the contract/rules neither do they. Get there on time or don't expect to get on. It's not that hard.
