I don’t fly often but hear people talking about the priority / business class list. Is it free to ask to be upgraded or does it cost

Think through that question.... is it free to get upgraded to a better class of service...who would ever say no if it were free? We pay for it with a whole lot of time on flights...

I absolutely love your naïveté 😊

Free to ask, doesnt mean you will

M1: think it through. The question was about any cost associated with asking for the upgrade and not the final upgrade.

You can ask, but you will be told that upgrades go to people with status. If you do not have status, you will not be upgraded.

Even if you do have status, you will likely not get upgraded 😩

Cost unless you have status then they can do it for free if there’s seats

C1 - he did think it through, that’s why he took it to its logical conclusion - what’s the point of asking if there’s no reason for the upgrade at all?

Sure there’s no harm in asking, but there’s no reason on the other end. M1 was LITERALLY thinking it through 😂

A2 - he jumped to the ‘obvious' conclusion but for someone who hasn’t done this before or doesn’t know anything about the process it could be a very valid question.

How much would a 30 day supply of Vyvanse (30mg) cost me after insurance? I know this is going to vary by plan but I'm still curious as to know how expensive of a medication this is.

My pharmacy informed me that the insurance will not cover without authorization from the psych. My psych was wary about this & instead suggested Ritalin during my session. He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
