Didn't want to start another thread...
 
So I'm trying to get my first companion upgrade on a ORD-IAH flight in a couple of weeks. My companion has no status.

Any tips?

Thanks guys!

1. Be sure to split the reservation so you can get your EUA at the proper time.
2. Show up at the airport earlier (if its really important more than 3hrs so you can beat the 3-hour EUA run) and have them add your companion to the upgrade list
3. Watch the PDA site

HS Scott! That's awful! I'm not counting on you getting anything back, but the best of luck with your insurance companies. :(

Don't fly C:rolleyes:.

I've never been able to get a companion EUA on CO. Sorry. But, yeah, what OPFlyer said is accurate.

How appropriate!

I did find my pictures this weekend while downloading some other pictures from a memory card. I'll try to get them posted sometime soon.

I just received an invite to tour the new Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon! ^ :D

I never got to tour the old stadium (outside of being there for games) but I think touring the new stadium before it even opens will make up for that.

Chances of them processing the companion prior to the 3-hour cycle are almost zero. One is still automated and the other is done by the agents. Numbers 1 & 3 are correct, and praying may help. But I'd expect it to not happen.

I've actually managed to get a few companion upgrades. The most amazing were a SAN-EWR a few years ago and a EWR-LAX two months ago.

Just get to the airport, have them added to the list and cross your fingers.

I should email someone at the Secret Service and tell them that I know someone if they ever do need a Palin stand-in and Tina Fey isn't available. My ex-director at Tr:rolleyes:picana is a pretty close lookalike too.
