Additionally, it is important to notice that when properly coded, a phantom/duplicate segment is shown in your itinerary where you cannot select a seat because it is showing you on the wait list. If that phantom segment does not show on-line, your RUC/GUC has likely not been properly coded onto your itinerary.
OP again: This is FREAKIN GENIUS!! My first few must not have been coded properly. Last night i noticed this phantom segment when I was looking at the upgrade list on the app. Had never seen that before, so they must not have been coded properly. Cant thank you enough for this tip!!

So if I dont see the phantom segment, I should just call? I wont see it until 24 hours out correct?
