✨ Pro Tips for Flight Attendants
- Always check multiple classes: Even if business is sold out (C0/J0), there may still be seats in discounted economy (K4, L2).
- 9+ rule: Anything with 9 means plenty of seats, but it doesn’t guarantee open standby space—always check standby list ranking.
- Know your airline’s policy: Codes like S and D can vary in meaning depending on the carrier.
- Upgrades: If premium classes show 0, expect slim chances of moving up.
