Air Canada
Many years ago, I brought a lot of work with me in a flight with Air Canada. I changed my assigned seat to a row of unoccupied seats as I needed a lot of room to spread my papers. It was before laptop era.
During the flight, Air Canada made an unannounded promotion for its Aeroplan plan. The captain was to draw a seat number, and the winner would get 15,000 points worth a domestic flight AND an invitation from the Captain to sit on the jump seat at the back of the cockpit, behind the FO and the Captain, during landing time.
I did not pay attention as I never win a loto draw and I did not know my new seat number. I only realized that the Captain has drawn my new seat when the CC came to confirm that I won the draw !
Take home lesson : change seat. Or bring a lot of work during a flight.
