LM Diamond Upgrade Certs
Dad's making a trip from YYZ->BOG so thought I'd upgrade him (as well as share the process)... fairly straightforward - book flight, call desk and use certs. Couple things to note:
- they've recently cut certs down from 4 to 2 when you hit Diamond
- it's one cert per start->destination independent of stops (standard I think)
- only AV metal
- blackout dates for high periods of travel - Xmas/NY and Easter from my recollection
- generally lots of availability BUT for one flight on the return leg there was none and while the other leg is upgraded I'm not sure if he's on stand-by or just flying Econ. I'll call back closer to flight date and confirm.
Hope this helps for the Diamonds out there!
