Have it happen twice, once from San Francisco to London on Northwest
via Minneapolis, the Air Traffic guys in London were threatening
strike action and they hurried us aboard in Minneapolis, we finished

Second time in Rome to New York on TWA, the counter agent said
we look tired and we would be more comfortable in First.
