I guess the search function in MEL'd for the time being-
I'm trying to figure out my way home from Germany after New Year's- I saw that continental has a small handful of seats (11, 9 in 1st), with 32 seats marked as "held" so that they're not part of the "seats available." Do those generally get released on the day of travel? I'm assuming they're due to the fuel load necessary for the westbound travel. I got very stuck last year in July coming back from Frankfurt (I tried delta, United, CAL, got left behind by everyone! Had to pay for a ticket *gasp*) and it makes me reluctant about jumpseating internationally again. What stress that was. Especially since cockpit jumpseats still haven't been finalized (although ALPA has only a few more hurdles until that's possible).
My second question goes to my fellow coair folk- I can't seem to list without it wanting to charge me for both legs- I'm noticing there's no option to "jumpseat" anymore. Do we have to pay to jumpseat internationally on mainline now? Or do we simply go to the gate and ask now. Probably will end up listing for 1st though, since it bumps up one's priority.
