Thread: Upgrade on Delta

Sitting next to a full paying pax is irrelevant. Part of the benefit of being an airline employee is being able to ride on the plane free, and if one is upgraded, that means nobody that is paying full fare is getting bumped from first class. This just means there are empty seats up front that a non-rev can ride in. I am an aircraft technician and without me, NOBODY FLIES. I'll ground this plane in a heart beat if I so choose. Just because you don't wish to sit next to someone because you used free sky miles doesn't mean you have ultimate authorization as to whom sits next to you. Did you buy that seat next to you? Get a grip. If someone is on FF tickets and the flight attendant upgrades them, you should be happy for them. This means that after everyone has been accomodated appropriately and there are seats up front, why not fill the empty space? Are you the one serving them drinks? Worry about yourself, not everyone else unless they send you back to coach in their place, then you have a gripe.

After ten years of company service, I pay zip! Before that, it was like a few bucks depending on where you flew to. Check with your airline. You put the time, you may qualify to fly free.

I hope this works out for you, one way or another... But I for one dislike when somebody puts me on the spot and asks me to bend the rules to help them out... Won&#39;t happen. Sorry... No way am I taking a chance on losing my job for something like this.

We plan on using our Frequent Flier miles to get to Italy on Oct 1 (Not non rev). I make a terrible passenger . Does anyone have any inside knowledge on how to get an upgrade to Business or First Class? I always take candy to the Flight Crew. Any suggestions! Thanks[/b]

Try candy to the counter/gate agents Maybe also offering to get them a Cappuccino.

Would I expect to get upgraded to BUSiness class on Greyhound, oops, I mean SouthWest when I fly to Europe--oops, they don&#39;t FLY there...Silly me![/b]

mrs767er,

I know this comment is rather old. I was surfing and reading old stuff.

I wonder why you felt the need to make that dig on Southwest Airlines? Why would you deliberately diss another airline knowing full well there are employees on this site that work for Southwest Airlines? What was your purpose?

Just curious.

"Never Tell Anyone my background" That is the smartest thread I have heard in a long time. I recently travelled on positive space business and a couple of my co-workers WORE THEIR BADGES! Doesn;t seem smart to tell everyone who you are, especially since we are told to: "Fly like any other passenger". I think it is stupid to blow one&#39;s cover.... but even more so if the person is flying space-available
