Is this getting common? If so, why?
yes WHY? It had happened repeatedly to me as a NW Plat. the last month. Especially annoying on the Transpacific runs. I have all the documentation, daily print outs of the seat allocations (both ITN & NW), the confirming email res. and get to the check in (in person as it is usually international) and its gone. Of course no one can help there as it was done by someone else and a new person has my seat. I have called 24 hrs before and this still happens.
Is NW like CX were higher level elites can "bump" another one if they have a seat they want? Even if so I am a Plat so who is bumping me?
I am too old to try to understand this
thanks
