oh no, this is very unfortunate. I was still able to choose premium seats at booking, I’m debating whether to call Alaska Airlines partner representative or just call American Airlines to see if someone can get me on the upgrade list. I feel like if I wait till the airport there is a potential that the city will be gone, but right now both of my flights have a wide-open first class , and I’d love to get upgraded at the 72 hour mark. Do you think it’s possible that if I called someone would be able to help get me on the upgrade list?
