I plan to buy a ZED business class pass EWR-DEL (United) and cross my fingers. I understand that I should also buy an economy pass in case business class doesn't work out. (The difference isn't fare difference isn't refundable if I use a business pass for an economy seat.) Purchasing the passes automatically lists me for the flights, so I would be listed twice for the same flight. Should I also check in twice? I think that could create confusion. And checking in could make getting a refund for the pass I don't use a little harder. On the other hand, I am concerned that if I am only checked in for business and am offered an economy seat I will be using the business fare/pass for that seat. I could ask the gate agent to use the economy listing, but does that look like a late check-in to the computer, and does it create additional work at a bad time?
I would like to keep things as clear and easy as possible for the gate.
I'd like to hear from anybody with experience with this, as a traveler or at the gate.
Thanks.
