Two of us board in F.

One pax in coach notices the six empty seats and asks how much it would cost to upgrade. FA explains they are not set up to sell upgrades.

Pax then asks if he can leave plane to talk to GA. FA says she isn't supposed to let pax off the plane.

He grumbles for several minutes.

FAs discuss. Then tell pax he is free to sit in F.

If I had only known that whining would get one upgraded to F, I would not have busted my butt to get 100K EQPs last year.

UAdbaCO has ToDs. Mesa-dba-AA has ToWs.
