Even if I don't get FC, if I do a SDC for a flight with connections to get more MQMs, are the MQMs still at 1.5 times the miles flown?
Some A fares have no change/cancellation penalty, which would mean you can change the flight and stay in First, if A inventory is available on your new flight. U are not bound by the 3 hour rule if you have a NON Penalty ticket. It may NOT be. Standby means last in the queue. If there are any First Class A inventory available they will give it to you. If there is no A inventory then u go to the standby queue and othe upgrades may be accomidated before you.
