I was very surprised and pleased to find that they vastly improved the tram system and it was no hassle getting to my departure gate with plenty of time to spare, but there was one big problem&#8230;&#8230;.  The plane we were supposed to fly on got pulled at the last minute&#8230;&#8230;.  They substituted a 767 and everyone had to go to the counter to get new seat assignments&#8230;&#8230;  This wasn&#8217;t the problem&#8230;&#8230;  I got to keep my window seat, and after telling the agent that I still wanted to be on the &#8220;A&#8221; side of the plane, she gave me seat 17A and told me that I would really enjoy it&#8230;&#8230;  I wondered what she meant, but that wasn&#8217;t the big problem either&#8230;.  After boarding the plane, I found that seat &#8220;17A&#8221; was in a two-seater private compartment with a heavy curtain so that you could be totally separated from the other passengers and crew sort of like the old private sleeping compartments on cross-country trains&#8230;&#8230;  This wasn&#8217;t the problem either&#8230;&#8230;  The seats were big and plushy with electric recline, lumbar, footrest up\/down and footrest extension&#8230;&#8230;.  No problem&#8230;..  Plenty of room  and storage space for your carry-ons&#8230;..  No problem&#8230;&#8230;.   &#8220;17B&#8221; was the problem&#8230;&#8230;  Instead of some nice, beautiful female with a great personality, or even a human of any kind, I draw lots with some 70ish anal with a serious attitude&#8230;&#8230;  Talk about a waste of cool space!&#8230;&#8230;.  I immediately reclined , extended the footrest, fired up my DVD player and tried to make the flight go by as fast as possible&#8230;&#8230;  But, I guess, all-in-all, my trip up here was good&#8230;..  It just could&#8217;ve been so much better!!!&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in my previous post on this great North-by-West Adventure, I was leery of the DFW plane change experience&#8230;&#8230;.
