Can purchase business class. If not approved to do that, purchase the early bird check-in, if not allowed to do that (or don't wanna pay out of pocket), get status...if no status then check in ASAP. No other science to it.

I was like A16 with booking through PwC. Just make sure to check in as soon as you can. Or just book the business class equivalent for booking preference.

Just buy early bird. It's like $15 per flight. I am usually A20-35 and can still get the exit row and almost any window seat beyond the first 5 rows of the plane.

Lol. A1 isn't a group. It's a spot. If you want an A boarding number, check in exactly 24 hrs out or just pay for early bird.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented.
