First two segments as part of a Premier Silver challenge:
- SDF-ORD ERJ-145: 1A or 18C (exit row) were options at online check-in but I passed as I had a single seat. No elite line at SDF and boarding was chaotic as they changed gates without notifying us then boarding everyone at once.
- ORD-RDU CRJ-700: My pick of exit row or E+ seats at online check-in, I took 7D (the bulkhead with unlimited legroom). I was on a W fare and ended up at #1 for 0 seats on the upgrade list. Would have gotten the upgrade too if someone hadn't bought up within the last 24 hours.
Decent enough start, I wasn't expecting any upgrades and I got E+ on the longer flight.
