One more question. Assuming I am not taken off the waiting list by the date of the flight, would it be better to:
a) do a web check-in at 3 a.m. (12 hours before the flight) and request an upgrade online or
b) go to the airport early at 9 or 10 a.m. to check in early through an agent
Any advantage either way?
a) For sure. Even if you decide on b), do a) first!
If you're a little paranoid, call in to verify that you're on the upgrade waitlist.
If you're a little more paranoid, get to the airport early anyway (thank goodness for lounges!) and check with an agent.
I've never done a web check-in and found out later I wasn't on the waitlist. But maybe I'm just lucky (and I haven't done web check-in very often). And I am more than a little paranoid when it comes to upgrades on trans-pacific flights
