I checked in 5 hours before my flight today, and got the "seat allocated at desk" note.

Even though I was 186, I wasn't allowed to board.

There was no aircraft change, the attendant showed me the screen which had a big red "+8" next to the passenger count, and confirmed they'd sold 8 more tickets than capacity.

Absolutely fuming, now having to drive to the other end of the country for a 4.00am flight tomorrow to get me to an essential meeting on time.
