I have a flight booked for next wed....the flight is full....there was only one seat left in coach sunday, and today there are 2..maybe someone dropped out..anyway...thats a pretty full flight...I checked first class, because i have 6 upgrades i can use at some point...the first class is empty!!!!! well one seat is taken...thats it!
I am thinking it would be stupid of me to upgrade to first class, when MAYBE they will offer it to me, or I can ask for it free at check in.
last flight down they offered me a first class seat because so many people wanted to get on, via standy....and since i was a gold member they asked me if i anted the seat before they gave it to a standby person.
well with this flight....so many first class eats are still open only a week before....I want all teh tips I can get for wiggling my way into that first class cabin with out using my upgrades.....( 3 would be needed for a flight that long)
do i ask at check in
do i ask at the desk where you board the plane?
do i ask via phone before I get to the airport?
is there a good timing that may help..
like wait till very close before the plane is scheduled to leave
can I get aggressive, because of my gold status...kinda demaning like...
thanks
bob
