So on separate PNRs it's at 24 hours or later but still ranked by the elite's status among those waiting for upgrade at that point? And how does fare class play into this? Is it the general member's fare class or does the F fare class (or GAP) play into this somehow?
As agent explained, everything else stays the same. It's just they basically get upgraded to the sponsoring medallions elite level for purposes of elite level priority. If they have an X fare then grouping is still off the X fare class group. I've asked agents over the phone and been told the same. However I only have the 1 experience to guide me, but it does match what I was told.
