My thought was lower status people got upgraded ahead of me, (or 4 people could've paid for the upgrade). But the fact my non-status companion got upgraded ahead of me, and I wasn't, even with open seats, I chalked it up as some system error/glitch.
That's happened to maybe 5-6 times over 20 years of mostly being EXP. It's annoying for about 5 minutes. Life's too short.
