    Different Treatment as an Upgrade Customer

    Whether or not airlines differentiate between upgrades I feel that airline staff are mean spirited in their attitudes towards the beneficiaries of an upgrade. The opportunities for an upgrade have been earned from supporting the airlines. I still well remember the day Compass Airlines ceased...

    How to benefit with lowest status rank
