Lately, when I select “request upgrade” it gives me three choices like first only, first or any comfort plus, and lastly first or window/aisle only comfort plus.

Lately it's only given me the "First" box to check. I must be on a naughty list.

I’ve noticed the same thing. 24 hours prior to departure, however, when you check in you can click on “change seat” and if there are any comfort plus seats available you can select one.

I’ve also noticed when checking in for a deadhead the first class upgrade request is already made.

Sprint gives free international data roaming and texts for most customers. Sprint.com/international

I’m truly impressed that you can even get a 4S to work with current IOS and apps.

How far in advance can we DDH on the front end? Seems like when I looked at the PWA it said something like within 24 hours. I'd like to do it sooner than later.

Thanks

sorry monkey Im not sure with the new way to book deadheads. I know that in the past i have def deviated on the front end a couple days prior.

I have a reserve question for any edumacated folks. If you block in at say 6am and go onto longcall, are you able to be assigned a trip that night at 1130pm? or does it take you out for the rest of that day?

thanks!

If you are on long call at 0600 then they can assign you a trip that reports at 1800 or later. All they need is 12 hrs notice (which is your rest).
