If an F seat opens on the JFK-HKG, will I experience push back upgrading?
I am in the same situation with LAX>HKG>BKK. Booked HKG>BKK pre-deval in F hoping to upgrade LAX>HKG to F in the future.
By trying to be prepared for upgrading later by calling in now and asking if I've still got an F ticket and can upgrade later, I wonder if I run the risk of them saying "it says 'F' but let me fix that" and downgrade my ticket to J.
If I didn't call in now and just waited until an F seat was available on BKK>HKG and called in and tried to upgrade to it pretending that nothing had changed, and if the whole ticket still shows as F, then perhaps they won't see anything fishy and just give me the upgrade.
Essentially, how do I know if my ticket is still 'F' without asking an AA rep?
Have you called in?
Thank ya.
