I don't understand, OP. With your status, if you change your account preferences to always request a comfort+ upgrade, you should automatically get it just after booking. Unless there are no seats available. Then you're SOL

AGREE. I exchanged several scathing (on my part) emails with Medallion customer service about this. The reason they cited at the end for having to request the Comfort+ upgrade is because of the (very few) cases where someone gets an exit row seat and might not want to upgrade to a middle Comfort+ seat. So for those few the vast majority are forever inconvenienced. Thanks jerks.

Unbelievable. I'm almost at Diamond medallion, and I've been stuck in economy the past 3 flights!

Yeah, it sucked at Silver, but once I made gold, I'm at least comfort, sometimes Prem. I'll make platinum in a couple weeks, I think it'll be pretty much guaranteed on all but the craziest flights. Did you alter your settings in the app, op?

Yeah my settings have been adjusted. 2 seats are available but I've been told that I will be notified at the gate. In the old system, I could snag the seat right away.

I'm only Silver for now, but already all comfort + and first occasionally

Book your flights about 3 weeks in advance. If you're platinum and diamond you can instantly pick a comfort seat.

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
