The rules for SDC say medallion complimentary upgrades won't be honored, but they don't really say anything about regional upgrade certificates. Does anyone have experience doing a SDC while on a regional certificate and being able to stay in FC?
If the RUC cleared (both legs) then you have a paid F ticket and can SDC to any flights with F availability (but not a nonstop). Not all agents know this or are competent, supervisor or agent roulette might be your only options.
