That is what I meant--do I have to lose and re-secure from scratch all the rest of the segments to gain a class change on one segment.
Ooh, good. So the segments in which I don't really have any choices, I can just secure the spots in Economy on them, then hope that something shakes loose in Business class later on.
Some of the freeing up happens when it's really closing in on the flight date. I suppose it's a real headache to try to pull that off when in the middle of actually doing the itinerary? (I almost feel a little silly asking it
)
What about in terms of upgrading at the airport the day of? Since I will be on an overall business class award, do I get involved in the potential last minute upgrading into the class I am "supposed" to be flying on? If so, where do I fit in the priority queue?
You guys are really great answering all these questions. I'll have to write up a summary of them and post it into the sticky thread on
oneworld awards to help others.
Thanks!
