Ah ok - I must have misremembered.

This is probably due to the weirdness of that flight. It was our last day in the US and we were to fly from PHX to ODR at, say, 16:00 to fly back to France the next day. We were earlier than planned at PHX and there was an earlier flight to ORD.

I asked if we can take that one - no problem. It is only when the planse started and the crew announced that we are flying to Portland that I thought WTF??

And this is how I discovered that a flight labelled A to B in the US can actually mean A to B via C where C is on the other side of the country. Kinda our city bus or underground... :)

We met very nice people, though, and I had an interesting discussion about the US. My son discussed with a lady in another row and she wanted him to meet his daughters when they will be in Paris :)

Ah yeah, if you were flying Southwest and did a flight change at the airport and you didn't pay for upgraded boarding, you would have been put at the end of the line for boarding.

I too tend to have interesting random conversations on Southwest flights, especially when flying alone. My hypothesis is that since people get to choose where they sit, they often end up picking where to sit by the vibe others are giving off, and it's more conducive to conversation.
