I’m assuming “the gate” is gonna be worthless. I think I’m going to need to seek out a customer service desk or even exit the secured area to head back to the ticketing desk.

And even then, I suspect they might offer to sell me an upgrade for several thousand dollars, but I highly doubt they accept “bids” at the counter.
