where is this to/from?

Everywhere. I'm sure it's a bug in the implementation. Right now if you can find an M fare as a plat you can upgrade anything at booking, domestic, international business and businessfirst.

I'm on the last screen of a BOS-HKG booking that I could actually take but I'm not sure that I'm willing to pull the trigger. I can see them rescinding the upgrade and it'd cost $250 to refund the fare. Still, for just over $1500 flying BF to Hong Kong is well worth it..

I would imagine if they rescinded the upgrade you should be able to get your money back. I'm certainly not saying that for sure, but it would seem fair to me.

Night, Box.

It would seem fair that way but you never know. I suppose you could book it as a Y but that's a heck of a lot more expensive than M. This isn't on the order of a fat-fingered fare, but rather a bug in the system that violates the explicitedly stated terms of the Onepass program (i.e. BF is not eligible for EUA).

ok now the driver is having trouble maintaining a lane and we jerk violently when he corrects himself. we are hitting the rumble strips like they are musical chairs. I am starting to question my safety now.

I hated the traffic on the I-95 corridor up there between DC and NY. It was horrible during the summer and bearable during the winter (when it did not snow). After my first year living there, I learned to leave at midnight (from Philly) to go either north or south and NOT have to deal w/ traffic. I kept my sanity that way. Have fun at the concert!

It is not fun. I think the bus will be fine for philadelphia but a redeye to DC is not the way to go.

We left NYC at 7:30 pm and were just going over the Delaware bridge now :mad:

I agree that if CO rescinds the upgrade -- they should allow you to cancel w/out a fee, as it was their error, not yours. So did you book it?!:-:

They did honor at least one u/g on a B fare to Europe; there was a whole thread about it where some guy bought it for his honeymoon. I'm not even sure he was elite. But no guarantees that they will good to see that CO's IT implementations continue to maintain their quality.
