Bob is flying A to C via B. Segment A to B is on a 320. Joe places an upgrade for segment A to B and segment B to C. Segment A to B clears, but segment B to C is waitlisted. Is Bob a connecting passenger?


In your example Bob is the only connecting passenger. Sally is not a "connecting passenger", nor is Joe. The rationale for the "connecting passenger" rule is so someone gets upgraded for the entire trip. This was explained to me by gate agent at YYZ.
