The simple reality is, most people will put up with just about anything if it makes the fare, say $/€/£100 cheaper. If you personally don't like that, then there's always premium economy.

Jump to postI think there was a last minute schedule change. It was suppossed to operate with a 738 and land at AEP, but was replaced by a A330 to EZE.

In Argentina we are on LV-Kxx and I think by the time we reach M we'll have gone around the alphabet (LV-MLO was a 742 from AR, the "malo" or "evil/cursed one") so by year's end I might have an answer! I'd say we'll go from LV to L something if other combinations are not taken.
Jump to postThis is the exact reason EVERYONE needs to use a travel agent for ANY international trip.

Of course, Russia has now made the above meaningless as they fell into the trap of proving everyone they were a threat after all.
