QUESTION - If C is the new X why didn't upgrades clear when C showed availability over the previous 3 days?
Was upgraded at boarding today on 695 phl-phx. I was number 2 on the list and got the last seat in F. I overheard others near me in line saying "I'm exp and I'm 8 on the list" and so on. Why me? Lucky?
