My current success rate is under 60%, but most places I fly require the RJ's and they are even worse than the mainlines.

I lucked out:
1) non-stop flight
2) only laptop and carry-on
3) this flight just goes between Minneapolis and Orlando...plane was at the gate waiting this morning
4) flight 1/3 full...row to myself
Lovely!!
However, I have had my trials on bidness trips...how's a 36 hour, overnight delay on the way home. That was an adventure.
