They are my favorite air carrier because I have almost all my miles on them. But I was pissed off Sunday morning. I was checking in at the automated kiosk and the option came up for me to be able to upgrade to first class for $139. I was traveling on a free ticket bought with miles. As such, I could not use some of my dozens of upgrades, but I could evidently pay to upgrade a free ticket. That didn't seem right. I can understand if the ticket is blanket not-upgradable, but to be able to pay to upgrade but not be able to use free upgrades earned through years of faithful flying seemed deeply wrong. I was travelling on the cheap (i.e. I was paying, not my company) so I did not choose to pay the $139 and stayed in coach.
I've been flying in first and business too much lately. I had forgotten how narrow the seats in coach are. This is especially trying when you are sitting next to someone who physically in not able to contain their mass in their assigned space.
