Just wondering how to move forward for upgrade requests. Is it better to not even ask for the sticker upgrades and roll the dice at check in.
IIRC back from PLT days years back if seats are wide open and you check in as a GLD or PLT you will be offered a sticker upgrade but not a LFBU. If you accept you must either have the stickers in your account or swipe your credit card for required number.
