Yes, I was very specific in saying Minneapolis to Vancouver, Canada on paid first class ticket. She asked me if he was connecting from there on a Delta One ticket to another destination and I said he was not. She placed me on hold and called somewhere to get me the answer I shared above. I will ask my colleague to stop by at the SkyClub at MSP tomorrow with his boarding pass and try.
