So should three pax be upgraded anyway? Heavens forbid no, integrity must always be maintained!
Before my husband was Silver elite I would try to get him upgraded with me, also Silver. An upgrade only happened once and that was because the GA felt sorry for us because we had to put our cat down the night before our trip to Puerto Rico. Other than that, I have flown several times up front with the front of the plane empty and the back jammed packed. In the olden days, last month, we could sit in the Exit row, so it wasn't so bad. In this new era of no silvers in the Exit row it will be difficult for us both if we don't get upgraded..
