I have a question.
They Waitlisted her and her itinerary states "Upgrade Requested" for the as-requested ATL-SFO flight.
If the available fare bucket doesn't open...will she be on the upgrade airport standby list? She DOES have a SM account (which we added to her reservation) but no status.
If she is added to the list where will she be?
I figure Delta would rather give an empty FC seat to someone willing to pay miles than a medallion member who would get it complimentary...?
