Question on this. I actually have a JFK-LAX BXP1 waitlisted for May, hoping there is space in advance. Curious when A upgrade inventory became available for this flight, when you had to call to get it to clear, etc...Was it at least in advance or was it at the airport? I honestly don't mind calling in to Meeting Services, and not checking in online isn't the end of the world for me...I'm just hoping it wasn't trying to call Meeting Services while standing at the gate or anything.
Either way wouldn't it be nice if the system included waitlisted BXP1s for clearance along with SWUs? Alas...
