"Not sure if I should feel bad, but I’m a 1K ….she said there were 7 ppl on the upgrade list, which made me wish I had bought a v fare instead of w to increase my chances, or at least be higher up on the waitlist...but she was worried I would lose my place in the upgrade line if she did that...She called another dept and got it pushed through... I am happy as it’s a super long flight, but do feel a little bad I make have skipped over ppl in the queue. "
