Sorry, one more question. I’m obsessing over this stupid flight. Nearly every seat on this flight is open. Flight is in 1 week, so soon. - kelly Mar 1, 19:46 [Attachment] 7
- You can select continue without selecting seats. But to guarantee certain ones, there are those fees. I get it. Sometimes can move after takeoff if not full. -- nm* - Budice Mar 1, 19:56 6
  - Yes. I'm wondering if it's necessary given that there are so many empty seats. - kelly Mar 1, 19:57 5
    - Are they truly empty, or are they just pending assignment? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 20:16 2
      - I assume they will be assigned depending on how many people on board that day didn't pick assigned seating. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 20:23
      - Empty..offered for posted cost -- nm - Budice Mar 1, 20:20
    - Check the flight on other dates, see how full they are. Chance you could luck out. Also can always add reservation later if you routinely check iirc. -- nm* - Budice Mar 1, 19:58
    - I would since you’re flying Spirit. You just can’t trust them. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 19:58

  - Surprise, then. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 20:14
Unexpected coattails of Black Panther....animal shelters are finding it easier to adopt out black cats than ever before -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 1, 19:18 5
- Wouldn't that be nice? We have six black cats at work right now that I would love to find homes for. - IrishStephen Mar 1, 19:45 4
  - Weird as that is the only cat I look at if I want one. That was why Amy getting my Xavier (white) was such a shock back in the day. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 20:08 1
    - Get a new black kitty! -- nm - David Mar 1, 20:34

  - I suspect this is the correct answer. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 19:43

  - UFC wants that much as well with not nearly as much programming. but yeah it's high -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 18:53 1
    - Right, it seems like Fox posturing to get UFC to lower their price. WWE has much less appeal as a fixed competition. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:56
