Same day upgrade question
Aloha, how soon can you request the same day upgrade on AQ from OGG to mainland? Mahalo.

When you check in for your flight, so if you want an upgrade check in early (At least 2-3 hours ahead of your flight during busy times like Spring Break, Summer, etc.)...they'll have a sign at the ticketing booth with the prices. $300 for mainland-Hawaii flights and $60 for short-haul flights as of last week. Unless you need the room or you have money to burn, it's not worth it. (See my other post about my F experience on AQ.)

With an expecting wife, the upgrade may be worth it. I did Y with the family in September and will never do it again - only UA metal from SFO to HNL!

The seats in the 737-700's feel the same is the interisland seats!

Good Luck!
