The flights I have been on have been crowded, though. ATL to MKE and MKE to ATL
What are my chances for my wife and I getting bumped up on an ATL to LAX flight either Monday night or Tuesday morning?
Can you get bumped up if you are using reward flights?
Yes, FL coach is miserable, particularly in the 717, which one one inch less legroom.
ATL to MKE is a little challenging because they are both hubs (tend to be more elites on both ends). But, I'm surprised you haven't upgraded yet. IF you keep flying that route, let us know how it goes.
Feel free to use the sticky thread at the top of this forum and list your flights as either successful or unsuccessful.
Upgrades are available on all tickets including reward.
