Random question: I was under the impression that cabin trumps status and fare class when it comes to eupgrade priority. However, me and my wife were on same route, my wife booked in PY and I in Y. We are both SE. We both had an international and a Canadian segment on a B787 and a B777. On the international segment my wife's eupgrade cleared at the time of booking and I had to wait till boarding as expected. For the Canadian segment neither upgrade cleared in advance and on the upgrade list I was one spot ahead of her? Any idea why that is?
