I'm hosed for upgrades on a USAir codeshare, aren't I?
Darn. This is what happens when I let somebody else make my travel arrangements.
Doing an SJC-MSN trip in August, and because the UA metal on a USAir codeshare was cheaper, that's how they booked me.
Everything shows up nice & clean in my UA itins, but if you try to upgrade, it says it's not upgradable. This seems to be in line with other threads, which say that the only way you can upgrade (using 500 milers) on a codeshare is on "standby" (which I assume means at the gate).
My daugher's going with me on this trip, using miles and sitting in F (saver awards available in F, but not in Y). F is wide-open at the moment, but looks like I'm not likely to be joining her.
So am I correct about 500 milers not working on a codeshare?
Thanks-
