Hey there,
I'm scheduled to fly back home tomorrow OPO - FRA (CO flight number on LH Metal) - IAH (CO Metal).
This is a CO ticket that originated last week in IAH.
A couple of days ago I requested an upgrade on the FRA - IAH segment.
Called the Elite Dest and was put on an R waitlist. My original booking was on an H class so I was charged 350$ in addition to 20K miles.
This morning, 24 hours before the flight the Waitlist dropped. I called CO. An agent told me that since the flight is now Sold out in BF, it dropped and I can request to be put back on the list in the airport.
I don't have much experience with milage upgrades. Now I see that there are two people on the waitlist (CO 47, tomorrow, Sunday Dec 5th) and I'm not one of them. What gives?
