Airline Insiders & Rewards Experts - Gate Upgrade Timing & Pricing

For an upcoming Fodor’s piece, I’m looking to speak with 1–2 airline insiders or travel rewards experts who can offer insight into how last-minute gate upgrades work. Specifically interested in how upgrade pricing shifts in the final hours before a flight and when travelers have the best shot at securing a gate upgrade. If this is in your wheelhouse (or you know someone who’d be a great fit), I’d love to connect—working on a quick turnaround this week. Thanks! #aviation #travelindustry #frequentflyer #travelrewards
