Need quick help
Hi,
I may need to go to PHL in the next week, however because of ticket prices I may buy a LAX-EWR ticket. Does the airtrain service to from EWR-PHL? How long would it take, any info. Thanks |
AirTrain to EWR train station, then Amtrak to Philly or NJ Transit to Trenton + SEPTA to Philly (cheaper, more annoying).
Amtrak is a single ticket (inc. AirTrain fare). $50 or more total each way. http://panynj.gov/airtrainnewark/ http://www.amtrak.com/timetable/july07/W02.pdf |
Hi again,
I booked into PHL. I am on a (Q) fare. Departing I will ride in coach, however on the way home I would like to upgrade to first class. When I get to PHL to return to LAX could I buy up if seats are available? Around how much would it cost? I would want to do this with two tickets, as I will have a companion. Thanks. |
CO doesn't sell upgrades at the gate, with the exception of Hawaii. You have to pay the fare difference plus a change fee if you want to sit up front.
I assume you don't have enough Onepass miles to try a mileage upgrade? |

I don't want to use the miles on this. This is a short trip and I'd rather save them for a nice vacation. I am willing to pay the difference and change fee, however if it is reasonable. Do you think this situation is likely? Would I beable to do this at the gate?
Thanks There was a multi-page, very heated thread on this forum a few weeks ago about someone trying to upgrade a whole family at the gate last minute. This poster is used to other airlines' buy-up program, and basically got into a fight with the supervisor at EWR. He ended up being barred from the flight, together with his family. I don't want that to happen to you. BTW, I won't call PHL-LAX a "short trip", even if I'm used to going to HKG. |

If you are willing to pay the fare difference and change fee, why not call and do it now? You probably will get a better fare right now the later.

When I say "short trip" I mean I will only be there for a few days and I would rather save my miles for a vacation. How much would the change fee be?
Thanks If you get a really nice agent, they may be willing to waive the $100 change fee but I'd plan on having to pay it -- you can do this online as well through co.com. That way, you can use the seat map to pick your seats up front while you are at it. |
