I’ve used this “hack” multiple times and it’s been great every time. The “worst” I had was an intra-airport people mover delay that was significant enough that I missed a flight on the reservation.
At first AFKLM agents there saw it endorsed as “no changeable” and didn’t want to touch it. Once I explained where the delay was exactly, a Supervisor was involved and he got me on the next flight no problem.
If they said my ticket was gone without value, arguably that would be one of the worst “outcomes” of this “hack.” Not getting a free upgrade but getting a look from an airport agent.
You didn’t get the expression - no one believed me that we were entitled to upgrades to C+ on DOD even when I showed them the policy... it took way too much work for something that should be automated. The only way it worked on the return is because I showed them Facebook messages with a delta rep and a Swiss air supervisor finally agreed to put me on the upgrade list.
Have your C+ upgrades been more automated?
