Hey Sebby - long time follower and YT lurker/supporter. Just wanted to clarify on the last minute of this video: all of the major US airlines (UA, AA, DL, AS) all offer complimentary upgrades to all levels of their elites. That is not specific to Delta. And no instruments are necessary to clear them. I know you guys are Delta fans, but saying that Delta is the only one that upgrades low-level elites without a cert is inaccurate. Love that JFK Centurion Lounge! ✌️✅

@j2simpso Жыл бұрын
Just thought I'd point out that irrespective of what terminal your flight takes off from at JFK, you can use your boarding pass to clear TSA security at the terminal which has the lounge you want. Depending on whether the terminal is connected air-side to the terminal of your departure gate you may need to re-clear security though.

Sebby, you are become a master on editing music - great job! Don't know where you get the music from, but as long as you don't break KZfaq music rules, then keep producing! 🔥 Another great video! 🙌 I have a question: When doing an upgrade with an Airline, in regards to a seat upgrade. When do you ask for an upgrade if you have bought your tickets in advance? or do you do it when when purchasing the airline tickets? To get the upgrade. Do you go to check in first? Ask stewardess when you board? Ask Boarding Concierge? Need to know how to strategize on asking for an upgrade. Don't want to embarrass myself and ask the pilot for an upgrade 😁
@AskSebby 2 жыл бұрын
Upgrades automatically happen if you have airline status and there's available room. If you don't have status, you'll never get upgraded (for free).

Hey Seb, would it be possible to make a CHASE trifecta calculator? I’m assuming many folks have the CSR as a multiplier n perks card on their chase setup and it would be great to see what the $550 does when the three cards are at work. When calculating if the CSR is worth it, the overall value is more relevant. Same for Amex. Cheers.
