Well, 24 hours prior to departure you have a choice of picking Comfort+, so that may give you a few to choose from - but from my experience, if the seat map shows none open, the chance of being able to move to a different seat is rare. The Travelnet Avail vs Authorized vs Airport Standby list vs reality is a combination that I don't think anyone has been able to crack.

I put my reservation in the Delta app on my phone and check every so often if I'm looking for a better seat. You can't check in on the app, but you can change seats. You can also see whether you are 42/45 for the upgrade or just 40/45.

Not sure I am a fan of the back door. Mostly rejected, and often premature. Unless you're the first one in the backdoor and you can tell all your buddies, you get the same results as the front door.

It's been a couple years but Holiday Inn Renton used to give us a good crew rate and van service.

The only thing is I have been able to get in the backdoor a day before everyone could go in the front.

And it's two weeks out and I still don't know what my plans are. Wish we had a quicker system.

I've been hitting it since I woke up here in Hawaii. My thumb and finger are setting tired of banging away. Can't I get something other than being asked to Authenticate myself? It just shouldn't be this hard, or should it?

Baja.
