FC had 1D open for the duration. The flight was 2/3 full so we at least had an empty middle seat between us in row 7.

Still...I would expect a Titanium to be at least 80%-90% especially with so many -800s having 4 rows of F now. This doesn't give us Platinums (or lower) much hope...lol

Flight Number: 1360
Status: Titanium
Fare Class: Used Upgrade Certificate (upgraded SEA to LAX day before)
Add companion, if there was one: Yes
Time the upgrade cleared or position on waitlist if didn't clear: Did not clear. Gate agent was selling upgrades all the way to boarding. I was top in line and in speaking with gate agent for passport verification about 5 minutes before boarding. Passenger comes up and asks if he can buy an upgrade. Gate agent says yes. I asked if the policy changed, as there were dozens of people on the waitlist, and boarding was just beginning. She shrugged her shoulders and sold him two upgrades. On board I saw him and his +1 take seats 3A and 2F, and the same agent came on and said she charged him $70 each for the two upgrades. Seems like shenanigans are back. Makes this Titanium sad for me, and all the others on the upgrade list. Thanks for listening. Yes, I sent a note into AS.

Connection times were tight all around, but even with winter storm Hernando in play flights were on time, and connection gates always happened to be nearby, never had more than ten minutes available at any lounge. 👀

Unfortunately we had to cancel, did so at T-2.5 for the first flight. Chances we would have been upgraded on the second flight as well, 6 seats available at T-8, surprised no one had been upgraded by then. No change in U score. 👀
