Am I best to leave my MPC DM number on the reservation, then check at the gate if there are likely to be any op-up's? If not I would then change it to my AA account or would it be too late to make the change?
Thanks in advance.
no matter what you do, would you mind following up here afterwards? curious to see how it works.
I haven't done what you're doing before, but I think you to do this:
1.) Put your DM # on the reservation.
2.) Go to the lounge. Be there at least 1 hour before flight departure.
3.) At T minus 49 minutes, check with the lounge agents if you've been upgraded. Technically 50 minutes is when the North American outports close the CX flights so that's when the final say in op-ups has been determined. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the manifest is ready to go at T-50 minutes.
4.) If you have been op-upped, then change your FF# to EXP.
5.) I've never tried changing the #, so I'm not sure if the lounge agents can do it or not. If not, I think the gate agents can.
