My wife and I are flying DFW to SEA tomorrow evening. At check in we noticed 8 open seats in F and were 1 and 2 on the upgrade list.

Given this I was shocked we were not upgraded T-24 at check in, but did get upgraded at T-19:45... essentially 15 minutes after meal selection closed.

In the past we have been upgraded as soon as checkin opens, even before, but never after meal selection closed. I went through the chat help but they said they couldn't help.

Given that we did not pick meals, will we be offered a meal on this flight or should we eat dinner prior to the flight?
