But the rep said the flight is already controlled by the airport (It's 5AM and the flight isn't until a little after 1PM). Oddly, the mobile app still shows both of us as on the upgrade list. I guess I'll need to figure it out the airport. Any advice? Thanks
You need to check in with an agent, say your upgrade cleared after you checked in, and ask them to offload you and then re-check you in. It usually takes about 2 minutes for an agent to do, in my experience.
