I am flying (Elite Gold) EWR to SJO on December 20. I have myself waitlisted for an upgrade for 15K miles.
There is one seat left in the BF (F), depending whom you ask as to what market it is. Obviously CO is trying to sell the seat, now if they can't sell:
1. Do I get any priority in upgrading or would this unsold seat become a part of the EAU bucket?
2. Or if it is a BF; do they fly with this seat empty?
I am assuming that I am the only one waitlisted for upgrade with OnePass miles.
I called the Elite Desk three times and got a different answer every time
