I'm so relieved! After two weeks of trying (and getting very frustrated with USAirways lack of being able to sit on hold for an agent -- or their goofy chat with an agent system), I finally got through the chat system and got a helpful agent who upgraded my flight out to California to FIRST CLASS!!
Phew, I'm so looking forward to sleeping at night again. The thought of being crammed into coach without my DS or DH as a buffer and "calming influence," was making me hyperventilate at night. I'm not a good flyer in any circumstance, but a cross-country one, all by my lonesome, had me breaking out in a cold sweat.
All is now smoothed over and I'm first class all the way!!
Weeeeeeeee!

PS - I promise not to let it go to my head. I won't be demanding that people bow down to me or anything... despite what JoanW insists I wear during the flight!
