Hi, we need a standard or full-sized SUV for our trip to America in this December, preferably a 4WD. We will be arriving at LAX. As a EC member I can chose a midsize car and get access to the Aisle, but the SUV choices there are quite limited apparently. (If I'm mistaken and there are consistent amounts of big SUVs at LAX please let me know)

I have 2 choices: Book the midsize car option, and upgrade to a standard or full-sized SUV at LAX if there aren't any good SUVs on the Aisle, or book a standard SUV online (don't know why there isn't a full-sized SUV option online). My question is: If I were to book a standard SUV, will I still get Emerald Club privileges like shorter queue times, less hassle in the car-taking process? Will I get a rage of options of SUVs to chose from (like full-size) or will I be assigned to one? If I were to book a midsize car, do I need to spend money to upgrade to standard and full-size SUVs?

Thank you for your advice!
