When I said "not necessarily in that order", I simply meant that an airline gives preference to its frequent travelers before giving preference away to another airline's. While *G has the highest upgrade priority, we would upgrade our Senators before a UAGS. However we would upgrade a *G before an FTL.

Also, I'm not sure where we're going with AF and DL being more "domestic" carriers than LH. This is news to me. Could you be more specific please? The only reason I brought them up was a seating issue I had with them previously.
