I agree. At minimum, even if you would clear the upgrade anyway, at least you get first pick on seats!

I understand it’s supposed to be T-120 on a segment by segment basis, but most of the time for me, it’s T-120 from the first segment (though not always). This is why I always check both seat maps at T-120.
