Fare Code V upgrade to first possible?
 
Flying PHX-ATL and complimentary upgrade looks slim.

Is it possible to upgrade to first with miles and if so how and how much?



Thank you

Not from a V class fare. IIRC upgrading domestic flights with miles would require a K fare or higher, even if upgrade inventory is available.

I have been upgraded on a V fare before so it is possible but def hard going to a hub.

I believe the OP was talking about a miles upgrade, not a medallion upgrade. Miles upgrades require K+.

I know. I should have worded it better to say "while chances are slim, it is still possible to get a comp upgrade on a V fare"

I think you are still missing the point. V fares are not upgradable with miles.

.....and the point that the OP was asking about upgrading WITH MILES.

Also, if the cabin looks full and RU medallion upgrade inventory is already 0, then it is highly unlikely that there is RP inventory for mile upgrades either.

DM on a V fare or SM tickets trumps most PM on the UG totem pole.

14 of 16 show open in first so they must be holding off upgrades. Coach is 99% full. 4 days before departure. Looks like it will be a nail biter at the gate.

Are they selling P fares for less than the coach seats now too?
