Actually got an upgrade today from my K class co-issued ticket on the Virgin codeshare from LHR to LAX, but it cost me $150 to change the return portion of the itinerary. $150 is something I can part with to ride in the big chair.

Ironically, when I checked to see if anything opened up on my outbound lax to lhr, the same agent I got from a week ago told me that I was "still on the waitlist" for the codeshare flight. How can I get this guy the training he needs?

If it wasn't advice on this board, I would not have my upgrade.

Thanks.
