Just had a slightly weird experience on my first attempt at sponsoring an U/G. I've been waitlisted on a SFO-HNL flight for weeks for NF (looks like it should clear so no worries there). I sponsored a colleague on the same flight yesterday using a CR1 and hers cleared immediately (she's got no status by the way). Called 1K desk where the person was unable to offer an opinion other than my colleague "got lucky"! Anyone know how this can happen?
