Two no-shows in Delta first class. I’m first on the upgrade list but I don’t get bumped up. They upgrade a guy a few rows in front of me though. Worth complaining about?

Is it really worth the hassle to ask for remuneration just because you didn’t get upgraded?

If OP has the time, the worst thing that could happen is being told to get lost.

Worse case: get nothing, life goes on

Maybe he paid for the upgrade?

Correct. Money> "status" for airlines anyday

Has happened to me before; they won’t give you anything.

Yes. It’s happened to me before, and unlike KPMG1, they did give me something. Multiple things actually.

I used an instrument (United RPU) to upgrade my little brother on his first flight in a decade. He was never on the upgrade list they publish at t-24 since he has no status, but he did get it the upgrade shortly before boarding.

I got $250 out of United when I was 1 on upgrade list and 2 got the upgrade. Be courteous but do go for it.

I sent screenshots of before and after the last seAt was taken.

Did someone else get upgraded too or did they leave it empty? If you have a screenshot of being number 1 with open spaces that will help.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?
