Note that CO changed the upgrade policy at the airport....
Effective March 16, 2005, the priority order for clearing Elite upgrades at the airport on the day of departure will be revised. The new priority order is below.
1 Full Economy (Y) Fares - Upgrades for Elites traveling on a full Economy (Y) class fare will be based on Elite status and time of check in.
2 Discount Fares - Upgrades for Elites traveling on fares other than a full Economy (Y) fare will be based on Elite status, then fare class and finally time of check in.
3 Companion Upgrades - Upgrades for companions will be sorted by the status of the accompanying Elite member and by time of check in. For instance, companions accompanying a Platinum Elite member will be upgraded after all Platinum Elite members have been upgraded.
