Is it really worth being EBG?
A bit of ranting regarding upgrades procedures and op-ups.
Last week two colleagues flew ATL-EWR-ARN. They couldn't check in on the EWR-ARN segment in ATL so they needed to do that in EWR. Due to delays in ATL they landed late at EWR and needed to run to the check-in desk. They didn't get seat assignments (just GATE printed on the boarding pass) at check-in. The only thing the check-in staff said was that they wouldn't be able to sit together.
One person is EBS and he travelled on a Q fare. The other person is M&M basic member travelling on a V fare (I think based on the price). Nothing special, in other words.
At the gate the boarding was almost ready and they needed to wait a few minutes for the seat assignment.
The EBS passenger got a seat in C and the other passenger got a seat in Y. Nice for them but also a nice kick in the face for EBG-members on the plane.
