ATL-MSY 9/2/14. Sucess sorta. My wife and I traveling together both A-List both Elite. Asked about upgrades and the very pleasant GA tried very hard to get us upgraded. She couldn't do it so she released out seats and gave use new one *(her 10F, me 29E) then wrote new seat numbers on the BP. They were not together ( I know what do you want for free).

Odd she couldn't my wife since she was on an Airtran booked flight. I was on a Southwest booked ticket and kinda expected some problems.

Wife tried to get someone to switch with me so we could be together. The FA got all weird about the hand written numbers. It all worked out in the end. We have only 4 more Airtran booked flights until Nov 1 and a few after that til the end of the year.

The guy who had the seat next to me agreed to switch and I bought him a drink.
