Hats off to u.
My flight this Friday showed 9 A's yesterday and today they are trying to sell a gold elite a fare class 'buy-up' instead of giving me a complimentary upgrade. Its a short flight or I would have bought a 'B' fare from the get go, but this is appalling. It might still work for you Plats, but for this gold, the system has changed for the worse. I should not have an upgrade issue flying to sticky Florida this weekend.
