You may request an upgrade when you book your trip or at any time before check-in. If you have already booked a trip and would like to request a mileage upgrade award, please have your reservation details available when you call.
Upgrades are available in limited numbers on most flights. If an upgrade isn’t available when you call, we’ll add your request to the waitlist. Waitlisted upgrade requests will be confirmed in this order:
If the upgrade type and 12-month Rolling EQD value are the same we’ll look at the booking code then date and time of the request to determine prioritization.
If your upgrade hasn’t been confirmed by the time you check-in, we’ll automatically add you to the airport upgrade standby list if you have the appropriate number of miles in your account 48 hours before departure.
Once your upgrade is confirmed, we’ll automatically update your mobile boarding pass in our app.
