I am beginning to wonder if the 3-hour EUA is running, or if it has been eliminated. I wasn’t checking ITN frequently but on some of my recent flights I’ve seen several people get the battlefield promotion.
I was one of those people on my first flight this week and there were 3 or 4 others that got it too. But today it was amazing... I actually got my EUA for this flight at the correct Elite window. Up until yesterday the flight was still listed as something like A8 (A7?) F0. Upon boarding in First, the cabin was virtually just empty with just a few pax.
They began to make the announcement about turning off your cell phones and the door will be closing soon, etc... and then all of a sudden there was a flood of people that were escorted to the front, by my count there were about 6 or 7 pax upgraded on the plane...
I’ll have to take a closer look at some of the flights in the coming days, but it sure seems to me that on my flights the A to F conversion didn’t take place and EUA may not be running at 3-hours... that’s just my take on this, I know others have noted that they’ve been upgraded at 3-hours, but I wonder if that was recently or a few weeks ago.
