Taking Good News Where I Can Find It

I was fortunate to be looking at the seat assignments for my flight to New Jersey on November 26. I saw that an aisle seat had opened up, so I quickly changed my seat from the middle to which I'd been initially assigned to the open aisle seat. While I'm not really looking forward to a full flight the Monday after Thanksgiving -- airports are likely to still be a mess -- now having aisle seat assignments on both the out and back trips makes me feel a little bit better.
