Come on now. Clear me 30 seconds earlier if you expect me to teleport onto the plane.
Had a NY agent miscount seats available, escorting 3 NR down for last seats...they walked back up and said there were only 2 seats available...we watch the jetway pull back and plane leave with 2 empty seats. Wife and I were next in line for those seats...Agent said some bullsh$t about "customers have priority".
