SEA to LAX - Upgrade to First with Elevate points?
How many Elevate points does it generally take to upgrade from the lowest fare (Economy Non-refundable) to First Class from SEA to LAX? I don't see anywhere on the website on how to upgrade my seats with points.

You cannot upgrade with points.

Not even by calling them? Crappy.

Well from a Founding Member of Elevate - this is probably one of the things most Elevate members would not mind seeing soon

Just curious, would others here recommend buying up from Y to MCS or F on SEA-LAX or SEA-SFO? I know this varies for each individual, but maybe based on your relative VX upgrades, is this one you would normally put money down for?

Thank you!

I wouldn't usually bother for SEA-SFO, flight is too short not really worth it. If it was a Friday night or something and I was buggered after a long day well then maybe.

For SEA-SFO, it's $35 to upgrade to MCS, and checking a bag costs $25, so it really only costs $10 for the boarding priority, legroom, and free food and drink (if you've got a checked bag).
