Even Economy shows (Y3 B0 H3 K0 M0 L0 G0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 E0). I have a bad feeling in my gut that's telling me that we aren't going to clear.
So update on my experience, it ended up being a oversold flight and they offered $1000 vouchers for 2 folks. As for my upgrade situation I got upgraded at the gate when boarding group 2 got called. There was only 2 seats availabe on experflyer and I got upgraded most likely because of a no-show. I was 4 out of 22 as a EXP with 13k YTD spend. My SO however was 19 out of 22 and obviously didn’t get upgraded. Not that it mattered but she is supposed to inherit my EXP benefits when we are on the same PNR?
