Not showing on upgrade waitlist
I am on LAX-SEA flight for tomorrow (less than 24 hours) and see 7 seats open on ExpertFlyer. Still no upgrade and there are only three passengers on the wait list.

if you are not on the visible waitlist you will not be upgraded. if the phone agent cannot get you on the visible waitlist, an airport agent will have to. None of the SEA-LAX flights tomorrow have U space open, so you cannot be upgraded immediately anyways and you should not ask the phone agent to upgrade you...but you do need to get yourself waitlisted correctly. Upgrades are a terrible mess right now. Paging missy... |

Are you checked in?

PM the confirmation #

There is a known issue with the apps where if you view the waitlist before you check in, it might cache and not display the updated info after you check in.
You can also check the waitlist using the flight status tool at as.com |

Color me flabbergasted! I only knew how to see the upgrade lists for a flight I was book on after checking in on my mobile app. It is great to know you can see the list for any flight by just knowing the flight number. This is awesome!

Why not? I persuaded them to override and UG me a couple weeks back on a SEA-FLL flight when the 120 hour window had passed and plenty of seats were open and the terms of the program clearly state I should have been upgraded already (if the system was working correctly) and seats weren't being arbitrarily held back.
Don't ask, don't insist, don't persuade= don't get. Because it's cheating. If U isn't open, complimentary upgrades shouldn't be processed(...and as I recall, in your case you stated it wasn't open). That is how the system works and we should respect it for the integrity thereof. Just because AS has changed the pattern of U release to be late in the period/at the gate doesn't mean the terms of the program are being violated. The terms state that 75K are eligible for upgrades AS EARLY AS 120 hours before departure, not that they are GUARANTEED at 120 hours if F seats remain unsold. AS has the right to manage its inventory as it sees fit, if they want to withhold 10 F seats until the gate that is their prerogative. Manipulating reservations agents into forcing non-existent U space is certainly not in good form, IMO. I have no problem with people calling to get upgraded if U is open and the processor isn't running correctly, but if U isn't open and they call...they're cheating the system, plain and simple. YMMV I guess. |
If 2 out of 12 seats are not spoken for at T-96 I understand completely. If 9 out of 12 are unspoken for than I disagree. I'm pressing for them to upgrade me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Do not publish UG windows and show all of us a carrot for establishing status (showing loyalty) only to subsequently monkey with it and play the Battlefield UG game at the gate with a broken system and gate agents that aren't comfortable with the rules.
