I've never heard of this practice before, until today. I'll be flying out of LaGuardia tomorrow to go to Denver via O'Hare. From O'Hare to Denver, I have a seat assigned. From LaGuardia to O'Hare, I have no seat. A call to United tells me that 60% of the seats are assigned by the airlines, while the rest by the airport. This got me to wonder, what business does the airport have in telling the airlines where their customers may sit? How did they come up with this arrangement in the first place?
I'm a little apprehensive about this practice because, for the past 2 Christmases, my gf--who I'll be flying with tomorrow--have been delayed overnight at stopover airports. If this happens again, she'll probably have a breakdown.
BTW, how's the weather in Chicago?
