Ok folks, I now have the fax where everything is all confirmed and nice without a hint of anything being awry.
I intend to check-in early in the morning for the late afternoon flight on Tue (no check-in luggage) at LHR and see what happens.
Have some "stock sentences" in mind in case I need them
- "But I canceled all my other waiting lists and confirmed flight in July because I got a confirmed seat here!"
- "I wasn't looking for a coach seat, only a business seat.."
- "This fax says I have a confirmed seat in business class"
- "I was asked to call and get a seat assignment and I did. How can that happen if I didn't have a confirmed seat?"
- "My head hurts with your rules on upgrading. Why can't it be simple?"
Any more suggestions?
