I highly recommend BoltBus if it's available in your area (US northeast, northwest, and southwest). It's cheap, there's free wi-fi and power outlets, and the buses have a good amount of legroom. I live in Vancouver and it usually costs me $30-$45 to take Amtrak or Greyhound one-way to Seattle. I booked a BoltBus ticket last-minute to Seattle for $18 one-way, and it's costing my girlfriend and I $15 each for the way back because we booked the two tickets together and there's apparently a bulk discount. It also drops off in Seattle right in front of a Link Light Rail station, which goes directly to the airport. With Greyhound I usually have to walk several blocks for that, and Amtrak is next to the north end of the line so it takes longer to get to the airport. I do this trip pretty often because SeaTac is usually cheaper than YVR, so I'm using Bolt from now on. Apparently we've had it here for two years and I had no idea, and for the Pacific Northwest branch it goes as far south as Portland (for $30 from Vancouver on some days). Not sure if it's comparable in other areas, but that's a crazy good deal for what I need.

I've got a late December flight on United with one connection. I can choose my seat on the connecting flight but not the origin flight. All the seats in Economy are greyed out and my seat on my reservation just says "---". I'm assuming I'm on a wait list, but it doesn't actually tell me - it just won't tell me my seat. Economy Plus is almost completely empty though, and First class only has 2 seats booked. Provided these seats remain empty, does anyone know whether or not United will bump people (either in Economy or on the wait list) into E+/1st if a flight is overbooked? I don't care if I get a better seat, I just want to know that I'll have *A* seat if the ones in higher classes aren't filled.

Mackieman posted:If all of the regular economy seats are booked, you'll be assigned a seat at OLCI (online check-in). It could be an Economy Plus seat or something else in regular economy depending on what's available at that time. Watch the seat map closely over the next couple of weeks; chances are high something will open up and you can select it prior to OLCI. Heh, update on this... I got to the check-in desk and they told me I'd be assigned a seat at the gate. I had to go through security, and when I got to the gate they said the computer couldn't assign me a seat for some reason, and in the meantime the flight filled up so they couldn't seat me due to their overbooking. I had to leave the next day instead, but I got a $100 voucher out of it. United kinda blows.
