Unless the flight is fully 100% booked out, by checking in at the last minute you’ll always be assigned a seat on rows that nobody wants or the airline usually do not pre assign. For example, the empty rows on the wing door exits in the middle of the plane. It also means everyone e…

United just paid me $2k to fly tomorrow – what’s the highest you’ve ever received for giving up a seat on an overbooked flight?
