- Perhaps, she asked for a mileage upgrade just minutes before the boarding and GA added her and another passenger on the upgrade list without collecting $75 copay for domestic mileage upgrade. This would explain why GA ask her to pay $75 for the seat as it was mileage upgrade.
Note that ticketing fee at the counter is $35 and it is waived for EP. The only other $75 fee is for the same day doemstic flight change (also waived for EP).
