Anyone interested in creating some strategic partnerships to help each other with business development (quality introductions, client referrals, etc.)? For reference, I am a commercial litigator in Chicago at a full service firm. I focus on business divorce, internal business fights, e.g. breach of fiduciary duty, trust and estate disputes, FINRA work, and civil appeals.
They're definitely meh unless you search for flights that have the confirmable upgrades available when you book. There's an option under advanced search.
All they do if you're on the wait-list is put you in front of people who didn't use them. They've always waited forever to clear that list in case they need to upgrade global services or can get a few more paid upgrades.
Some flights have the option to use the plus points for confirmed instead of the wait-list. Those are the ones I was saying you can search for. It's kinda like the old Y/B/M upgrades.
Became super useful when I made GS. Useless before that because GS with no instruments will be confirmed above 1K using plus points
Am GS… very useful (and I have way too many..). But I don’t find them overly helpful for international long haul - I have yet to find a flight that will let me skip waitlist to get into Polaris or clear quickly (even if business class is empty)
I've only had confirmed long haul on one project where I booked way in advance. I think they disappear once it gets within a certain time period.
