Upgrade to Plus from EWR?
Hello.
I’m looking to upgrade from Go to Plus on my flight to Stockholm from EWR. We are already past the bidding deadline, so we are hoping to upgrade at the airport.
Does anyone know what time the ticket counter opens for SAS at Newark, and also, does anyone know if it’s better to inquire about an upgrade at the counter, lounge or gate?
Thanks for any insight, folks!

Don't know when the counters specifically open, but normally for SK intercontinental outstations, 2.5 hours. But with multiple flights at EWR, that may make a difference.

My experience is they handle it differently from airport to airport, and even the between the persons at the check in counter at the same airport. I had an experience in Chicago a couple years ago, where I asked for a upgrade at the check-in. The check-in assistant said she could put me on a standby list, but then I overheard the guy next to me asking for an upgrade too, and was told there where many seats available, so he could get it straight away. I was EBD he was EBG. So be persistent. Unless they tell you there are no upgrades available, insist on getting the confirmation straight away.
