I know it doesn't give us the option to request one when you book the award flight but I want to know if anyone has had luck securing one by talking to airport personnel.
Nope! Not going to happen. A few months ago, F was wide open and I was traveling coach on an award. Just thought I would ask one of the nicest GAs who I see every time I travel if it was possible and she said no. The system won't allow her unless it was an oversold situation, then maybe...just maybe. The flight went out with 3 people in F.
