<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I was checking for an upgrade on a MSP to RNO flight June 1st AM and line told me "nothing yet - we scan 4 or 5 times a day - but there are 1C seats available"... What is she trying to tell me??</font>
She is trying to tell you that there are still 1C seats available for sale and they have not be allocated for the elite upgrades yet.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">If they are available, and is in the three day window period..don't they allote the seats to elites??</font>
If the computer thinks they are not saleable by its criteria then the answere is not.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Something does not make sense here??</font>
It is the way it has always been
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> In past was always advised withing the three day period or told " no seats "..etc... ????????</font>
Have you been advised that you were on the waiting list. Last week as a plat I did not even make the waiting list for msp-sfo. This makes two times this year that I have not been upgraded on the sfo-msp seg. In years past as a gold it was 100% year in and year out. Not sure what is happening here other than a lot of fat wallets have transferred to nw
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> anyone have an idea??</font>
Make sure you have the best available coach seat lined up and you check-in online as early as possible.
