This is great.

Mom, I think I'm just gonna take

Old River Road, connect to the freeway.

For your safety and security...

This good?

Yeah.

Call me all the time.

I want to know everything.

This is so exciting.

- Yeah, thanks, Mom.

- I love you.

All right. Should be good.

I can't believe this.

This is crazy.

I know.

It just feels like a big moment.

I'm so jealous. I can't believe

I have to go to this stupid conference.

Okay, flight info's all on your phone,

and the hotels, it's all on there, okay?

Great, okay.

- All right, be happy. Be present.

- Love you.

All right.

I love you.

- Love you, honey.

- Okay.

Oh, take lots of pictures!

Love you!

Love you!

Attention, all departing passengers...

Economy entrance is that line.

But, uh, I have a, uh, Silver Flyer card.

It's Gold and Platinum only.

Next, please.

Enjoy your flight.

You know what I'm thinking?

Hmm?

Let's try for an upgrade.

What do you mean?

Going off to find your college.

And I don't know when you and I

are gonna take a trip like this again.

Let's fly business, okay?

Really?

Yeah.

Okay. Cool.

I, uh, I never flown business.

Let's make this f***ing special, okay?

Okay.

All right.

Oh! Good news.

There are two seats available in business.

Oh!

Can I see

your tickets, please?

Awesome.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. I was hoping to put it on my miles.

I got a bunch of miles, I think.

Unfortunately, no, not with this flight,

you can't.

So...

cost to upgrade to business

would be $821 per ticket.

Mm.

So, the total would be $1,642.

Sixteen hundred dollars?

That's... for a domestic flight?

Yes, $1,642.

Would you like to go ahead

and purchase the tickets?

I...

I'm gonna go for it.

Go for it. I can put it on my Amex.

Actually... Sorry, no.

Put it on my MasterCard.

Thanks.

Gonna put it on the Amex. Just...

Okay.

Sorry.

Great. Let me just run that.

Yeah, it's a... once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Mm-hmm. Mr. Sloan, actually...

Yeah?

...unfortunately, we can't upgrade you.

I'm sorry.

What? Why not?

Seems as though you bought those tickets

on a discounted website,

and with that type of ticket,

we can't do the upgrade.

Okay.

But... not even if I pay you $1,600?

There's actually no amount of money

you can pay to get an upgrade.

I'm so sorry.

Anything else?

Um... no.

It's not a big deal, anyway.

Okay.

And what if I'm a Silver Flyer member?

I'm sorry.

Next?

Okay.

Right on the beach.

Really?

- Champagne?

- That sounds like...

- Oh!

- There you are.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Yes. Enjoy your flight.

Sorry I couldn't get us the upgrade.

It's not a big deal.

Silver Flyer card.

Means nothing.

Gets you nothing at all.
