2: Pay to change the ticket to an upgradable class and then use my e-vouchers (is this possible?)
3. See what the gate upgrade costs
4. hmmmm........ help!
Any suggestions, this is a saturday flight, seems quite full by the seat map
Don't bet on #1, even Thai's own ROP Golds rarely get OP ups. And they'd certainly be accommodated before another FFP's status flyers. (Actually, any Thai VIP's or Friends of Staff onboard will get moved up before anybody.)
