Actually, those particular wings have a special chip inside, which makes them very special indeed. Usually reserved only for GS customers, the chip syncs with our computer systems as the gate, and automatically puts you at the head of the upgrade list. Less than 250 exist, so don't lose them!

My daughter (3 years old) seems to be given these every 2-3 trips or so by FAs.
The ones my daughter haven’t had this particular feature installed so far as I’m aware. Maybe one day they’ll give her those kind?
