Was waiting for my QX flight at GEG on a Q400 and I noticed on the GIDS that there was an upgrade list containing two people. This was separate from the standby list.
It showed “capacity: 0, booked: 0, checked in: 2”
Do these lucky people get upgraded to the cockpit?

Boy do I feel like an idiot.
I rarely transit PDX... and when I do, I don't drink liquor. After being a G75/Gold since 2009 and a lounge member for most of that, I asked for a gin & tonic today.
Yeah. I felt retarded.
So, with no hard liquor at PDX, why are all the Priority Pass people whining again? The lounge is nice, but all the other amenities around the airport really make this lounge more of a pit stop (like I've always done with it).. capers, the cinema place, open-business lounge with chairs, powerports, desks, etc...

I ended up sleeping between two benches over in the B gates. Blissfully quiet and very little traffic. Got about two hours of sleep before waking up in time to hit both Capers and Stumptown (unfortunately, I left my Stumptown coffee on the table at Capers when I rushed off to my flight so only got a couple of sips of it
).

I actually attempted that at 5am, but it was shockingly busy.

AS 240 SFO-MEX Delayed?
AS 240 SFO-MEX is scheduled to leave at at 9:55 AM but is delayed this AM. Any reason why? The plane arrived last night at SFO and weather seems fine today. Just curious why the flight is showing delayed this AM...

Wow the winds sure have been bad, wonder how many were bumped for weight restriction. I was looking at the last week or so of BOS-SEA flights, one was 7 hours according to Flight aware. No GoGo on this one. It was a 737-700
