Term for First Class Priority
I know I've seen it on here before, but I forget. If you have a purchased first class ticket and your flight is cancelled (or you miss a connection), for your new flight, what is the term to tell the GA or Admirals Club agent to have them make sure you are at the top of the upgrade list ahead of standard upgrades?

Nots sure if this is still the case, but it used to be if your reservation was appropriately tagged your name wouldn't show on the UG list in the app and gate displays. So don't sweat it if you don't see your name listed for an UG. I've definitely been in situations when I got the last seat but not on the UG list.

It says DSR is "Customer who has a First or Business class ticket but has a confirmed seat in Main cabin". It is also under the Revenue Standby section. My guess is that it stands for Downgraded Standby Revenue based on what it is and the context, but this is pure speculation.

Just wanted to share that knowing the DSR term definitely helped me last Sunday with the mess that was at DFW. I missed my connection and we were originally put on the upgrade list at #10/11 for the flight we were re-accommodated on. By using the DSR term with the AA agent, they got me immediately confirmed into F on my flight.
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!
