EAU (or whatever it's called) to BusinessFirst (BF)??
 

i have a flight in a few days to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). i logged onto CO.O.L today and was happy to see that i was upgraded, although i was also fine with my comfy exit row chair.

but, in the cabin description, CO.O.L said "BusinessFirst" (fare class Z). i didn't think Continental called the premium cabin on Caribbean flights "BusinessFirst." i thought it was just dubbed domestic first class. and, i didn't think there was EAU for BusinessFirst.

Don't they fly one of my favorite ac(the 752B) to SJU? If so, then you get the nice seat...

yeah, i noticed that on seatguru.com. seatguru says: "if you get an upgrade to first, consider yourself very lucky." does seatguru assume that people don't pay for first class?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif just kidding (j/k)

will make sure to pack au bon pain to make it perfect. i don't care for miami subs. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Business First is used on international flights, which CO designates SJU. AA does the same. TWA, however, considered SJU domestic destination with a First Class designation.

interesting. i was bumped a month or so ago (registered on bumptracker.com) and was given two first class upgrades in addition to loot. but, i could have sworn the upgrades say they can be used anywhere in the US, Alaska, Canada, Latin America and Caribbean as long as the upgrade is not to BusinessFirst.

How was I supposed to know what this thread was about from the title? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

Anyway, San Juan ain't an "official" Biz-F destination. You sure you didn't book to SJO (San Jose) instead of SJU (San Juan)??? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

Easy to confuse all those "San" places, ain't it? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

SJU service is NOT BusinessFirst (J). The premium cabin is Business Class (C).

that's why i put the words "BusinessFirst" in quotes in my original post. CO.O.L used the term "BusinessFirst."

Just ret'd today from SJU!
Outbound on Memorial Day 762 with int'l BF seats. Ret'n today 752 with int'l BF seats. Mrs Let's Go & I rec'd upgrades both ways. Great crews both trips!

i am going this weekend. according to CO.O.L, already upgraded to "BusinessFirst" both ways. 757-200 on the way down, 737-800 on the way back.

LOL....thank you, snake.

You're right. CO offers "Business Class" to SJU from EWR, not BusinessFirst. Just checked my upgrade notice. Why don't we just go back to first class and steerage for two-cabin aircraft?

huh?

what's that? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif
