- t-6 I was told at checkin one seat available 50/50 chance of upg clearing
- upg confirmed at the gate on boarding.....eventually 2 seats were available. I got the last one
I am happy it cleared obviously.....however can anyone explain how an oversold flight in business (ac.com was not even displaying a business class fare one week out) allow 2 upgrades on the day of departure? Just curious is all.
Possibilities include:
1) FRA is a major connection point, and some flight mis-connected.
2) Someone on full-J changed their plans (this happens way more than you would think).
3) Someone had a confirmed SWU upgrade from Y/B and "forgot" their cert.
