1) It looks like those on award tickets are less likely to be offered an LFBU at checkin, is that correct?

3) Do the agents at the AC/boarding gate/baggage check have access to the exact same upgrade inventory? Also, do they discriminate based on paid vs award tickets at that upsell point?

Thanks!
