I’m MVP Gold.
id love to be able to get a comp upgrade to Premium or First.
Is an O fare even eligible for such upgrades? The app is offering me $112 for Premium which I’m inclined to pay if I won’t be eligible for an upgrade. I know I upgraded aren’t guaranteed; I’ll take my chances as long as I know I’m eligible.
An MVP Gold is not eligible for an immediate premium class upgrade on the following fare classes:
MVP® Gold members Y, B, H, K, M, L, V, S or N fares
An MVP Gold is eligible to go on the waitlist at 72 hours and
could receive an upgrade for the following fares:
MVP Gold members Q, O, G or T fares 72 hours prior to departure
