I'm also a little confused what you mean about upgradable fares, since MVP and MVP Gold already have this (buy Full Flex/Value fares and get instantly upgraded when U space is available). Do you mean upgrade into F space instead of U space?

And what does upgrade queue mean? Earlier upgrade window?

Very excited about awarding MVP status though, that's a serious benefit!
This was covered very quickly and that's why I didn't want to even try to capture it - but the gist is that there are certain times now with the way things are set up that an MVP Gold can fall back in the line if not upgraded early (based on lack of U availability when the fare is purchased, or no U availability at the 72-hour mark). This will ensure that MVPG75Ks don't have this happen to them - they will keep their place in the queue, enhancing the chance of upgrade later in the process.

But again, this was covered very quickly and hopefully someone from AS will clarify.
