My wife is an NWA gold. She and a client are booked for a conference upcoming tomorrow. She upgraded because they were from different companies and not on same itinerary. Is there anyway to bump her companion besides showing up at the airport 12 hours early. There are 2 seats remaining in FC and worldperks has told her all status upgrade have been run. They said she must get on the standby list at the airport or gate. Any advice? Need this soon. Thanks anyone in advance. As stated previously I have never flown NWA so I have no knowledge of there practices.
