Nope, I disagree - one elite was op-upped on the aircraft into *my* paid C seat on BOM-BRU! (9w has legacy (from domestic) issues with seat assignments - they have *no* idea what they are doing, really - on international sectors!)

Not that I know of - one can use an upgrade certificate, or possibly go to the ticketing counter to pay the fare differential...

Ha! I like that - what *shock* would entail on the other side!
