had a bad experience at hyd last week....i asked about a paid upgrade for my colleague who was traveling with me....
i knew that there were 3 seats available in business when we got to the airport....the check-in agent got on the phone with someone & then refused, first saying that there were no seats available....when i told her that i knew for a fact that there were 3 seats available then she said something about those seats being reserved for someone....
i think one went to a pilot & the other 2 went to these 2 gentlemen who worked in the telengana home ministry's office....i struck up a conversation with one of them who was sitting next to me & he said they always get upgraded for free at the airport....
