Another issue with sites like seatcounter.com is that the highest number it will show for sale for a particular fare bucket is 9. If you see "Y9", it may mean 9 seats left in economy for sale, or it may mean the cabin is totally empty.

rkk,
When you buy your seat, you can immediately pick your seats on many airlines. When I bought be dirt cheap fares recently, I was shocked we were just about the only ones on the plane(so far with confirmed seating). Maybe the other buyers havent gotten around to getting their seats? not
lol

<b>FrankS</b>,
nobody is saying you can't pick seats, but the debate is about "certain" preferred seats.
For example, as AA status holder I get to chose seats that are not available to the general public, but yet there are certain seats that are not available even to the status holder. They automatically go under airport control and won't be assigned until people check in at the airport.
That's what this discussion is all about.

Go to www.airfarewatchdog.com and sign up for their newsletter. I have seen $600-$800 tickets but they are 2 or more stops. These are unpublished fares. I just received an update and it is $508 round trip to London from Phoenix all taxes included, on British Airways stay a Saturday fly by May 25th. It is on Orbitz, Travelocity you just have to sign up
for some of the sites, like Booking Buddies, Farecast, etc.
