i just did this today our of SMF. We are Golds but I still had to go up to the gate counter and asked to be added to the waitlist and than upgrade. Had I not had status I would have been unable to obtain the UG unless I paid for it or had a ticket class that I could use miles to upgrade with.
Exactly- he'd pay cash for it. Alaska's cash buy ups are very reasonably priced.
