Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan - Upgrade Experience on ORD-SEA
I just bought a last minute full fare economy return for this weekend from ORD to SEA. Alaska couldn't confirm my upgrade but have waitlisted me. Anybody have any experience as to loads in F on this run and whether I have a reasonable chance of getting the bump up?

If you just bought the last minute, full Y fare (which is a YASG fare basis) maybe you weren't aware that the difference between that and First is only $40 each way. You could confirm for the difference, and right away.

Flyer... the fare diff between the YASG and the FASG is $82

and to speak to the Original Posters question...
If you are flying Friday or Sat, its not looking too great for an upgrade. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "just bought". But if it was less than 72 hours before flight time, you are behind all the other Golds, and there are a lot of them. If you bought it more than 72 hours before the flight , you have an edge over those who bought L- fares.

Whoops - you're right Missy - strike that from the record. I don't know what I was looking at.
My upgrade for Friday just cleared. Sunday's looking a little more doubtful.
