Fear of not getting upgraded
 

I'm sure many of us have a fear of having to fly in coach too:

Fear of Coach

I definately have this problem

Coach, where's Coach??????? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Coach - They manufacture handbags and purses. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I believe "coach" is British for U.S. "bus."

Econophobia is the medical term.

Nice find Beckles. I thought your post was going to be about keeping ones fingers crossed for a transatlantic upgrade off a coach fare, but this was better.

yes tot he hand bags no to the plane seats or bus for that matter LOl Cheers Jane

Call me crazy - (waits for the thread) - but if I can get bulkhead on an Airbii/767/777, I am quite happy with UA's Economy product. Plenty of legroom, the 18" seats are comfortably wide enough for my bum, and the FAs still care on my flights.

I fly a good deal less in upgraded First now thanks to the extra 5K miles need each way (only on transcons, and then only on three-class or 757s), but I'm doing just fine for the most part.

I'm an AA Platinum member and virtually always get upgraded within the 72 hour window. But when the flight is more than two or three hours, I don't take any chances. I always get a confirmed upgrade or free first class ticket using miles.

My worst nightmare.

I upgrade ORD-IND and am usually the only rev pax in F.

"If it ain't upgraded, I ain't going."

I, too, bat nearly 1.000 as an AA Plat (formerly Exec Plat).
