common OLCI experience?
Hello FT. During OLCI last week, I was asked if I wanted to be put on the upgrade list. I selected "YES". Then the next screen said that I was already upgraded.

I thought that OLCI acted a bit strange there. Why would it ask me if I was interested in an upgrade, if I was already upgraded?

Thanks!

Mikey's right, if you did not clear via EUA then it's prompting you when you do OLCI. You said yes and luckily there was an "R" seat open then and you did not get the old "FC is full, you've been added to the FC waitlist!"

That happened to me alot too.

I guess NW OLCI is teasing us

it feels like playing Lottery when clicking "Yes" button
when they asks 'Do You wanted to be put on the upgrade list?'

Thanks for all the replies. I already knew I was upgraded for going to the airport via an email update. Just thought is a bit weird to be asked for an upgrade, when I was already upgraded. But everyone here explained that this is SOP.

Thanks!

It sounds as though answering yes means that you retain your upgrade (if it has been granted already).

So, out of curiosity:

If you were to answer no to that question, knowing that you'd already received the EUA in advance...What happens then? Do you lose your upgrade? Anyone ever done this?

ps. I won't volunteer to be the first to try it!!!

OLCI has done this since the day it came into existence. I'd have thought they would have fixed this by now.

My experience is that this only appears if at least one segment has not been upgraded in advance and First class exists on the plane in question. If all segments have been upgraded (or if the plane does not have First class), I have never gotten this question.

I too have never been asked this if I already show upgraded.
