I was flying JFK-LAX today. I am Aerolineas Skyteam Elite+.
At the gate I looked at the upgrade list and it showed 10 pending and 14 seats free. So I went up to the desk and asked if they would upgrade ST Elites after all Medaillions had cleared. The GA told me I should even have been added automatically to the UG list (didn't know that) but since that didn't happen he added me manually. 40 minutes later I had a BP for a BusinessElite seat!
I was absolutely baffled, I thought this was an tough route even for Diamonds, let alone for a Skyteam partner Elite.
Plain luck on my side or light Medaillion day cause of July 4th?
