TAM and Operational Upgrade
I write directly from the airport, deeply transtornado with the lack of criteria for this upgrade operational.
The upgrade this is nothing more that way to circumvent the famous and old, problem of over booking. Wherever you are in the boarding lounge and listen to an official of the cia air by calling some names, we think that the so-called are unhappy that they were waiting for a seat on a flight is, actually, that lucky-class travel executive that ended with the upgrade of winning.
Anyone who knows this and is going fairly ask, how do I join that list of fortunate.
I made that question and I was informed that with my loyalty red card in a full flight, provided you have left my name registered for this upgrade operational at the time of check-in, so I receive. Beautiful? Not at all.
Today I am going to Miami, fully manned flight, I arrived too early to the airport. Soon enough to satisfy me, with confirmation of the official who did my check-in, that my name was the first on the list of upgrade operational.
I am sitting in front of the boarding gate and to my surprise that the upgrade operational just happens, get three other people and not for me. When I talk and ask for clarification pífia received the reply: "They were preferential customers," and later: "It may be that the executive".
But how can there are more customers with preferential that the red card loyalty? Would be friends of officials? Or, to the business class customers who need to upgrade to business class itself?
Leaving aside the response of the attendant despreparada, I would like to understand what these are lucky, or that they are better than me, or any other customer TAM in the same situation.
And to worsen, the board is already more than one hour late…
