"only sell earlybird for the A boarding position. There is no way to do that because there is no way to know how many A-Listers will grab A spots until 36 hours before the flight. You could have A50-A60 available and then 10 A Listers buy tickets and grab them.   EBCI only guarantees 2 things: 1) you don't need to worry about checking in at t-24 hours 2) You will get a better boarding position than everyone that checks in manually.   That's it. ...

The matching aisle seat is the same as any other aisle though and doesn't recline  Person in the "Dannering" seat behind you to the left will keep asking you to help stow their things under the seat in front of them, which is in front of you. Overall I also will leave it for someone traveling in a pair and hope for the karma to be paid forward by someone else later. I enjoyed sitting there as my first choice seat before kiddos when traveling with my wife.             ... View more
