I got my first EUA from BOS to EWR and was #1 in the upgrade list for PTY. My flight was delayed for about 2:30 while 3-4 flights also going to EWR were cancelled. The GA very nicely told me that they could re-route me BOS>ATL>PTY on Delta because I was not going to make the connection and the plane was not going to wait for me.

Just after they gave me my new tickets, the other GA called someone and said that the conditions were not that bad. I just checked continental.com/info and that the flight left 20 mins after the DL.

Is it possible that they re-routed some free upgrades to give those seats to paid FC?. The positive things are that at least I got 3 bags free and arrived a bit early to PTY.
