I asked again about getting on "no, the flight is closed". This was an Envoy flight.
When they close out a flight on their computer, it usually takes a manager to be able to go in and OPEN up the flight again to add you to the final count. Had this happen a few times and all it takes to politely ask to have the manager come open it up, or ask to speak to the captain.
