If I have a plan B award and do not get upgraded to business 24 hours before the flight, does PR1 status mean that if there is an available business class seat then I (or someone else with PR1 status) would automatically get it?

Essentially yes.

Question is, how do they determine which of two or more people on the same flight with PR1 status get the upgrade...

Probably the same way any upgrades are prioritized.

And that's a whole ball of wax, between revenue/award, elite status, timing, instruments/CPU, etc. Know anywhere it's spelled out clearly?

I found that, too.

That does a terrible job explaining. Or perhaps I've just had a very long day (including having a judge almost put me in jail).

Now now, do you want to go on your trip or come back to shallots??

Behave yourself. I ain't wasting 15k avois to come bail you out.

You can't be bailed out of contempt. The person held in contempt is generally seen as holding the keys to his own cell (in civil contempt).

AJK shouldn't go to jail because we use his trip reports as inspiration.

If I ever end up getting thrown in the can C"V I'll use that as a mitigating factor

Got plan b on ua90 ewr-tlv aside for staying away from some jerk at the priority check in and to ask for p-1 at the lounge. Any other suggestions?? Tips??

AJK · « **Reply #1074 on:** January 19, 2015, 12:36:45 AM »

Don't be late to the airport.

skinfarrock · « **Reply #1075 on:** January 19, 2015, 12:37:56 AM »

Plan on heading out of lkwd around 6pm(ish) for 10:45pm flight. Too late?

skinfarrock · « **Reply #1076 on:** January 19, 2015, 12:47:13 AM »

Just rechecked my reservation seems like they didn't put me on the waiting list at all and I'm R requested. Something that's really odd is my wife has been removed from my confirmation number!!!

Mention it as you checkin at the regular economy checkin, I've had success there. Since there were 3 seats still available for sale, the guy cleared me into Business without waitlististing me.
