Once I was to board, I actually got bumped up to PEY again. Now I’m not complaining since I eventually did get the upgrade but more out of curiosity, can they downgrade you for reasons like this? Also, what the staff told me was obviously a lie if I managed to get the upgrade in the end.
Was the first PEY seat you saw on mobile BP and the one you eventually sat on onboard the same?
How you know its a lie???
