Officially not. But you may find a rep at the airport who might bend the rules for you. I'd guess very unlikely.

Thanks,
What's my best bet tomorrow ewr-lhr for 2?
Both the 625 and 730 have saver award avail.
The 730 seems to have a lot more avail seats bit don't want my parents stuck in 2 middle seats (they just switched the aircraft yesterday).

They both have business availability? If so take the 6:25 on the 767. If they are available in economy and you want to set up plan b, you probably have a better chance on the 7:30.

none of them have bus. Avail
I set up plan B 2 months ago on the 730 B/c it was the only 2 cabin plane with 2-2-2 config.
Yesterday they switched to a 3 cabin 777 with 2-4-2 and they switched the 767 to a 2 cabin plane.

Booked a plan b nyc-vce for tomorrow- the agent told me to book it on the computer as a saaver award to save the $25 booking fee, on top of the $50 close in fee- when I called back to change the ticket to a plan b- agent told me it costs an additional $50 close in fee cuz I am changing the class of the flight- anyone ever heard of this before?

Business check-in at EWR was not very helpful but the service desk at the gates were able to set it up correctly.

can I call up for plan B a week after I purchase my tickets? or does it have to be done within 24 hrs?

Does Plan B have to be put in place right after booking or can you wait sometime (over 24 hours) before setting it up?
What's the chance that 4 seats clear the list if half the seats are already booked?
What happens if only some of them clear, can I refuse it and get a refund for all 4 tickets on the upgrade?
The flight is EWR-LAX RT (end of July-begining of August?), if that makes any difference.
