Imagine that there are 100 boarding groups and 100 people trying to get a group at the distribution time. Now imagine that 95% of the people trying are successful right when it drops, but 5% of people have trouble with their internet and have to restart their app. In this case 95 people get a group in 5 seconds and 5 people get a group when the app restarts 3 minutes later. This is like what happened on Monday. If there are 110 people who want a boarding group, and there are still only 100 groups available, you would get a different result if the app performance rate was the same. In this case, 104 people would not have app problems. Of that, 100 would get a group in 5 seconds, 4 people with a working app would be out of luck, and 6 people who restart the app would be out of luck as well. This is similar to what happened Sunday. In this example, a change of 10% in the demand would change the boarding group availability by the observed 37x change in the availability window.

Thank you so much! That’s exactly what we are trying to do!

I actually did this on Sunday. I booked at 1:00 and got 105, then at 1:02 I booked again and got 161. Great idea if you want to ride at night.

Since the 1:00 drop seems to be lasting longer can you cancel your spot and rebook to get a later time (as long as times were available still)? Or would canceling not allow us to book again in the same drop?

7AM drop last 2 days: 5 seconds on Sunday 3 minutes on Memorial Day To what do we attribute these crazy wide swings? I’ll go out on a limb and say MK was not 37x busier on Sunday
