AA flight SFO-JFK is a 3 class cabin airplane. I got upgraded from coach to business. Half of the first class seats are empty, can i be upgraded again or they let them fly empty?

Ask the flight attendant if you could be upgraded.

You already got upgraded to business - let’s not rock the boat before they send your ass back to coach near the bathroom

Often those seats go to AA employees

It’ll go empty. You can’t even upgrade from paid business to First complementary without using points or vouchers. Flew the route every week for 2 years and only went coach to First twice due to operation issues (being nice to agents didn’t hurt either)

Thanks K1. I see i can use a SWU. Is it worth it?

must be an old plane

@OP Same food, marginally better drink and seat (Business has lie flat too). Only real benefit may be the first class dining at JFK. I save my SWU for international travel but if you have it to spare, it is a nice little bump.

M1, no they are all new, pretty trippy walking into a plane where it is literally half premium seats. Main reason i committed to AA was for upgrades on this flight

Oh, and forgot to mention, you can’t even use a SWU to go to First unless you buy business. Probably would have been helpful to mention

Oh ok, thanks K1.

lawl dawg it’s an A321T

Much better than the crappy 767s they used to run on this route

A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
