Good morning all, while flying to Tampa with a non-elite person Friday night I was upgraded and was hoping that the lady traveling with me would be offered an E-First upgrade at checkin for a fee. Nothing was offered. No big deal but when I asked the Elite line and the GA about what was a qualifying flight and fare class for the E-First they had no idea.

Does anyone know the specifics of this? She was traveling on a B fare so I would have thought it would have been offered had it been available. BTW, we took off with 3 opens seats in FC so I would have thought it was available.

I have searched high and low for details on the E-First program and the specifics at NWA.COM are about as clear as mud!

Thanks.
