I am MVP. I decided I want to pay to upgrade to Premium Class seat on a flight I booked months ago, and is still a month out. Plenty of Premium seats left on the flight. How do I do this? I have tried while logged in, does not have the option, shows all the seats in Premium unavailable. Same thing if I do not log in, and just use the "manage my flight" option.
You do it through the seat map / change my seat. If the seats show unavailable, that's because they're full.
Come back at check in, when the elites in those seats have (hopefully) been upgraded to F, and you'll likely find at least one seat of your preference available.
