Going through the very useful FAQ, I found this: "On two class US domestic flights, if you hold a D class ticket you can book into the A (first) inventory, if it is available, at no extra charge."
Am I correctly interpreting that my TA can book me into A on the DFW->AUS and AUS->ORD flights (assuming availability) for no extra charge?
Correct.
From the rules:
NOTE: For flights where First or Business Class is not offered or available, passengers may travel in a
lower Class, in the applicable booking code for that lower Class. The fare for the highest Class used
applies, without compensation.
Exception - for services within the USA where no Business Class is offered, Business Class passengers
may book and travel in First Class (Booking Code "A"), subject to availability. This provision does not apply
on any flight where Business Class exists but is unavailable for booking.
