Question about upgrade as a Platinum member
This is probably a silly question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer. I have an upcoming paid economy plus flight from Taipei to San Francisco. I have met the Platinum status for the first time ever in my life last month (on my way to 1K by the end of this year too which is exciting!). Do I have a chance at getting a "free" upgrade to Business class as a Platinum status (ie, will I automatically be put on the waitlist for an upgrade to Business class after checking in?)? Or do Platinum status members not qualify for such "free" upgrades?
