I would assume that ML*1 trumps ML*3??

Please have someone correct me if I'm wrong but i would assume OP should be prioritized first over ML*3 passengers...
Don't employees normally fly standby and would thus be ML*5?

I can only speak from experience, but employees who are upgraded into J are done so if they bear the proper eligibility/priority, and after the entitlements of revenue Customers are looked after.
The ticket was purchased as a Flex fare, so I believe it is upgrade eligible.

I am likely paraphrasing, but yes.



So to summarize all the posts here the normal approach for AC is to upgrade all passengers with status using upgrade Credits before employee travel. What about status passengers who are not using credits vs. employee travel?
