Actually, I come to find out I didn't really check-in. The system wouldn't give me boarding passes with online check-in, just the "not a boarding pass" we need to check your documents nonsense.

Called and spoke to 1K line, and they confirmed I didn't really check-in - and therefore can't be added to the upgrade standby list. ...??? What kind of nonsense is this???

Living in Oz I rarely get an opportunity to use my 6 upgrades every year - they're worthless on SYD flights to the US. The one chance I get a fare that allows use, some other roadblock is thrown at me.

I'm about done with these people. . .
