In any case, is it really worth it for the .1 percent of the time when an open first or biz seat exists and the crew doesn’t upgrade you anyway just for being staff?
It is a problem when traveling international. Not only do you look like a cheap bastard with your economy listing for a 16 hour flight to SIN, they don't upgrade on status on international. Economy can be full while premium seats go empty. I have been left behind in this situation where I've been unable to purchase a premium ZED.
The box of chocolates thing doesn't work...I've tried it.
