I tried them this week, and they are not fully up to date. I.e don't take into account all the recent cancellation etc

Asking for a friend: is it possible to upgrade your seat (e.g. to business) on a flight, once it is already in the air?
Obviously, they never allow you to walk up and just take it. But, what about if you offer to pay. Would they allow it and give the seat at a discount?

Some airlines allow that. What airline is he flying?

If you have Qantas points, there’s no way to transfer them. If there’s availability, you book through Qantas on American or Alaska, but since Qantas is distance based, you won’t get a very good value.

The cc only applies on its own metal - the airline that you're flying on.
And even then, you may have to pay for (at least part of) your flight with it.

I have never paid extra to pick my seats and have flown almost monthly with my kids and never sat apart from them. Sometimes we are given seats that aren’t together but they will change them at the gate for us or when we get on the airplane they will move people around. Neither the flight attendants or the passengers want a child sitting without their parent.

I booked 6 tickets aug2 ny to Mco through priceline on AA
They changed our flight to one with a stopover. They are saying they now have no direct flights that day. What are my options? .

You should be able to get a refund by calling Priceline. Then you can rebook on United or JetBlue for 13$ :)

You’re right. United/JetBlue 13$ prices are only for booking a week in advance.
