Airtran Flight Upgrades after Nov 1?
While shopping SEA-ATL on Nov 6, the SWA website offer four routes and three of them ended with a FL flight (from MKE, MDW or LAS). Thinking it would be great to be bumped up to biz class on a long LAS-ATL, flight, I bounced over to Airtran.com to buy the ticket. But...you can't buy a flight on Airtran.
Lately, I've been getting bumped up front on every Airtran flight, provided I book through Airtran.com.
What is happening to those 12 biz class seats after November 1? Is there any way to secure them? What about getting assigned seats on FL metal after Nov 1? Is there any way to do that? I can't imagine that SWA.com is going to add a seat selector for a handful of FL flights.
Since the A+ Rewards program ends on November 1, does that mean I don't have Elite status anymore? (and the A+List status seems to be a relative joke...) Can I pay four Airtran credits for an upgrade before Nov 1?
I suspect I am out of luck. I appreciate any advice.
