Hi, we need a standard or full-sized SUV for our winter trip to America in this December, preferably a 4WD. We will be arriving at LAX. As a EC member I can book a midsize car and get access to the Aisle, but the SUV choices in the aisle are quite limited apparently. (If I'm mistaken and there are consistent amounts of big SUVs at LAX Emerald Aisle please let me know.)
I have 2 choices: Book the midsize car, and upgrade to a standard or full-sized SUV at LAX if there aren't any good SUVs on the Aisle, or directly 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 SUVs to chose from (like full-size) or will I be forcefully assigned to one? If I were to book a midsize car (for the Aisle), do I need money to upgrade to standard and full-size SUVs in case there are none in the Aisle? How much would this upgrade cost and where can I find the SUVs?
Thank you for your advice!
