If I have an economy seat from LAS-LAX, do I still get the same baggage benefits as though I'm in biz? I'm also EXP now, dropping to PP next year, do those benefits supercede the BE "No free bags?"
No difference using SWUs to upgrade between Basic Econ and Biz. If the upgrades are confirmable now, I’d jump on the BE tickets and call in to get the SWUs applied. EXP / PP benefits trump the BE no baggage allowance. Being upgraded to Biz would also trump it.
