My question is, does this procedure (MC to MCS @ 24h then MCS fo F @ 6h) sidestep those fees? I'm not especially equipped to drop $1K+ for this upgrade currently. |
Just wanted to check whether this strategy is the best for upgrading from MCS to first on my upcoming SFO-JFK VX22 leaving at 9:15am... Online check-in at 3:15am and hope it asks to upgrade to first, check the box, pay the fee and confirm upgrade. I don't have a printer with me but assume that VX can just print boarding passes for us when checking luggage. Or is it better to just call Virgin America?
By the way, ended up just buying first on LAX-SFO given it was so cheap. Got through customs relatively quickly and successfully moved to earlier flight. Really liked the Virgin America service and got 2 glasses of sparkling and cheese and crackers. The leg room is huge!! Now really hoping upgrade comes through. |
