Yep. Very first flight after we switched was a last minute booking on a full flight where I ended up middle seat/middle row of a 777 next to an obese fucker with sleep apnea, pure misery.
Booking my own tickets through Asia I've also managed to get the entire center row of an A380 to myself and made a blanket fort. That was a great flight, and I almost wished the trip from Jakarta to DXB was just a tad longer, almost.
