I always dread flying on US Airways (don\u2019t ask me why), but I just don\u2019t feel at home like I do with American. Perhaps it\u2019s because I\u2019m not used to it yet and I haven\u2019t flown many flights operated on US Airways.<\/p>\n<p>Last month I also wrote, <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2014\/04\/09\/us-airways-now-providing-upgrades-american-airlines-elites\/\" target=\"_blank\">Is US Airways Now Providing Upgrades to American Airlines Elites?<\/a> In the meantime, there is a solution for American Airlines elite frequent flyers to get complimentary upgrades on US operated flights. The same reader informed me that he recently flew 4 segments on US Airways as an American Airlines Platinum elite member and was 50% successful. His trick is to have a \u201ckind attitude and asking politely made the GAs much more willing to work with me.\u201d\u00a0 In addition, he mentioned \u201cOn the last segment home the GA went to ask his manager (because the system wouldn\u2019t allow the standard upgrade request).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you really want that upgrade, be sure to be nice to the US Airways gate agent and kindly mention that you would like an upgrade. The gate agents have the power to process your upgrade, but it\u2019s a hit or a miss. I am looking forward to June 11th and hopefully they\u2019ll be able to let American Airlines Executive Platinum elites apply Systemwide Upgrades on US Airways operated flights as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will US Airways begin to provide reciprocal upgrades for American Airlines elite frequent flyer members on June 11, 2014?
