I wonder if this a glicth or just a hidden reward.

partly glitch. partly not. the fact that you got up'd. not a glitch. the EUA computers arent neccessarily connected to the others. at the particular, mark you were upgraded. you missed the flight, but you still got the up. when they re-booked you there was nothing available. so you flew in Y

here's where the glitch is. when they rebooked you, they assigned you to an available fare that was coded full Y. im not sure how it happens, b/c it doesnt happen all the time. i think that if you are rebooked on a flight that is sold out (no seats, as in 100 out of 100 are booked) but there are still seats to sell (CO sells 120 seats out of 100 available seats), you end up getting a Y fare b/c that is all that is left. when OP gets the info, the computer automatically gives you Y credit.

I missconnected in EWR to BDL two weeks ago. i was going to have to over night in EWR. instead, i asked the PC attendant if i could go to BOS instead. he said no prob. put me on the last flight. it must have been one of the last seats, b/c my OP activity shows it as a Y fare, and it gave me 2 segments rather than one. my entire itinerary was booked in T. this is just my guess....
