Hi all, long time lurker, I rarely post because I usually can find the answer by searching through the forums and on Google. However, last night I spent a good amount of time trying to see which airline has any sort of procedure to get yourself on the same day standby list for upgrading from coach on destinations to China. I could not find anything on it, so I'm assuming that there is no such thing, is this true?

Also, a funny thing happened last night. My flight that was scheduled for 12/26 from STL to BOS got cancelled (For obvious reasons), and DL automatically rescheduled me for later that day. When I logged onto the website, I had free reign of picking when I wanted to leave and on which day, up to 2 days ahead, but the funny thing is that only First Class was shown on the screen. My question is this: Is this part of the normal procedure? That DL makes up for canceling your flight, by only putting the passenger in First Class? That doesn't make sense, right? Since they cancel flights all the time. I think there was a mistake, because on my flight from DCA to STL on Dec 23rd, I got on their standby upgrade list and got upgraded, so I'm thinking the computer logged me in as a full fare First Class passenger.

So I with the many choices on my screen on when to leave, I'm scheduled to leave on the 27th from STL with a layover in ATL.

Anyways, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
