Flying LAX-OGG yesterday. 1st fully booked, only one not checked in, so I was figuring UG chances slim. Podium at PC calls me and hands me 4E. Did the gate know I was in PC after I logged in there, or does the PC podium get notification from the sytem re change of seats for passengers who have entered? Just curious...
I suspect the nice people at the LAX PC monitored the upgrade list and likely figured out you were a PC member and called you. The LAX PC is right across from a couple of the gates. LAX PC agents tend to be on top of what is going on.

There is nothing automated that I am aware. This would not work at IAH - since too many clubs and too many gates.

Nice on the part of the LAX PC.
