How are A330 UC downgrades prioritized?
All - flying JFKLHR VS138 before long, and have been tracking tails by day.
Flight is scheduled (and presumably sold) to 33 seats.
However, in a fair number of observations, A333s with the new UC @ 31 seats have been operating.
Given the uncertainty over configuration, one would hope VS is only authorizing this flight to sell 31. But I fear that isn't the case.
Does anybody have the downgrade prioritization that will be used to potentially boot 2 unlucky UC passengers?
Cause for my concern is I'm Delta DM w/companion on very high revenue coach (maybe B fare?) with certs applied for UC, and my kids are ticketed separately in UC, no status, on mileage awards.
If this were strictly DL I wouldn't worry, as I understand their downgrade system and can assure a DM can't be downgraded nor can kids that are cross-referenced to DM PNR (furthermore, it would technically FORCE an unaccompanied minor situation, which I don't believe airlines have the right to do).
Thanks in advance, probably don't have anything to worry about, but I'd prefer to go into battle armed with ammunition.
