Very happy to get upgraded on my usual!
1/9/15 AS845 BLI-HNL at T-49 as MVP
It's a very short trip, flying home on 1/14/15 on the red-eye, and have to be at the office shortly after landing. Only a few FC seats left, and 10 elite seats booked, so I paid for the F lowest first, instead of gambling for the T-48 upgrade. I will need the sleep, and also need to get off the plane and rush to work.
(The extra miles won't hurt either as I don't have a lot of flying planned this year)

AS MVP Glitch
Appears to be a new glitch that is affecting MVP 75K (just who you want to upset) which ignores status and puts pax in back of plane. Happened 2x to me with bookings yesterday. CS says it is affecting many others. Can't even UG on instant UG fares (including Y) where there's availability. Can only use Guest certs.
Am losing patience with my status match from UA. But, at the moment, on time performance beats even these glitches.

Haven't noticed glitches yet. Did you book the flights after you became 75K? Or is this something happening to those matching from UA

Ok, now you are just showing off! What are you, 10/10 so far this year? You're really starting to get on my nerves
And how did you go from OGG on the 13th to SEA-LAS on the 14th?

SEA is always the toughest upgrade to/from anywhere in Hawaii, I have found. I fly it monthly (leaving again Sunday) and have started to avoid SEA if not using a GGU. PDX or BLI is pretty much guaranteed, even as a Gold.
