I'm scheduled to fly JFK to NRT in June with my wife. I used miles for her ticket (BE) and bought mine (L Class). What are the chances they’ll upgrade me (if any)? Also, what do you do to keep your back from becoming strained on such a long flight -- I am in seat 38A?
Very slim. If you are GM or better, you may politey ask the gate agent to consider you in mind for operational upgrade, if the economy is full. Since your wife is in B/E already, you would be very grateful ;-)
