What happens if you're on a Business Select fare and you change your flight within 36 hours of its departure? Are you still guaranteed a priority A boarding pass? Under all circumstances? Only if there are fewer Business Select customers on the particular flight than spaces pre-allocated for them in the A group? Something else (i.e. you go to the back of the A line, but still get an A)?
While we can’t get into the nitty-gritty, A-List order is sorted by, number of revenue flights taken within the past 12 months among other things.
You're answer is helpful inasmuch that it acknowledges that the number of flight segments plays a role in the A-List hierarchy. But, for all we know, that criteria may not be the number one criteria, which certainly devalues its importance. And if other factors like online check-in time still play an important role in separating one A-Lister from another, that information would be helpful to know.
Why can't you disclose the hierarchy? I thought that WN prided itself on transparency with its customers. CO, to give one example, expressly publishes its
Upgrade Priority.
