(asterisks and emphasis added since there are so much generalization)

* Only for the EXP passenger. For companions, purchased 500-miler upgrades, at $30/$35 each, are required.

** Only Central America, not South America

*** Subject to capacity control.

**** only one cabin upgrade is allowed.

No apology nothing what so ever and put us on a flight that will make us late for the wedding rehearsal. Two phone calls to 1K desk and one email to 1KVoice did not get me any where!
if it's a schedule change, you can always ask for a different flight option or ask for a refund. If you don't expect any schedule changes, then, well,
