Yes. Book the regular segment and then call the EXP lines and they will tell you if the systemwide upgrade is available. Then you'll spend 5-10 minutes on the phone while they reticket the reservation.
A1-no. Can't be used on award flights. Must be on paid flights.
Selling what? Upgrades? Never knew there was such a thing. I think maybe technically you get 5 systemwide which I'm going to assume means call and override everyone ahead of you in the upgrade priority list so that you get first, but honestly I get upgraded all the time (aka sitting in first now). Which segments are you flying? Airports and times have a lot to do with it. Example: NYC to LAX is hard to get the upgrade . Also, where do you usually land in the upgrade list?
Yes you can use for yourself and your companion; but they only move you one cabin so from economy to business, (ie. I don't think you can apply for Econ to biz to first. )
Ahmazing, glad I was randomly on fishbowl
How do you get systemwide?
Exec plat? They should be automatic. I never call and get upgraded constantly.
I have both exec platinum and a ton of upgrades and it never happens. Everyone seems to be selling theirs which doesn't make sense to me if it's automatic? Just trying to figure it out.
The system wide upgrade you have to call in and apply (I've used all of them on international this year and they've always had to add me to a waitlist and reconfirmed closer to departure). The other upgrades (on national routes only) are automatic, no need to call in, and don't count against any vouchers or miles. You can check the status of both on the app - look for "upgrades" for you.
So I'm about to fly myself and one other from Dallas to Tokyo on my miles. Can I call and use two systemwide upgrades to get us from economy plus to first?
Ha a1 yes it is lax to NYC. But also lax to clt.
Thanks for your help guys I think I get it
