Well....

1) The delayed flight was scheduled two hours after the flight in question. But some folks could have moved up to the earlier flight with SDC as I did.

2) Upgrade inventory was available until 3 hours before departure. So all Medallions that had been booked on the flight prior to that should have had their upgrades cleared.

It does bring up a couple of questions for me regarding SDC, and I'll post them in that thread.

Thank you,
David
