2014 Upgrade Success Thread
Piggy-backing on the previous two year's threads
2013 Upgrade Success Thread
2012 Upgrade Success Thread
It seems that RacingJunkie usually runs this, but I wanted to get it going as travel got booked.
I ask that you provide at minimum the following information:
Date or day of the week, Origin/Destination for each leg, fare class, and whether/when upgrade cleared. See my next post for my examples.
If you chose to participate, please indicate your SM status in the top of your post. I ask that you update often in your first post. Feel free to add a post to bump when possible.
January summary of all posted eligible segments - overall upgrade rate 68.6% (94/137)
DMs - 77.3% (65/84)
PMs - 75.7% (28/37)
GMs - 6.3% (1/16)
FOs - 100% (1/1)

*1 - Did a SDC to a flight connecting in DTW instead of ATL, arriving MCO an hr earlier than original. CRJ up to DTW then RU from DTW -> MCO
*2 - Got alert that flight from MCO was delayed. Times showed fine. Called DL, was told crew was short 1 FA. Arrived at gate, FA was there. Had forgotten driver's license, though (got thru security w/passport). Called my wife who'd dropped me off to bring license back. Did SDC to 7:30pm from MCO-ATL and 11:15 arrival into RIC. Left gate area to meet wife to get my license. Went back thru security (in SkyPriority line...took over 20 min for <10 people!) Original flight was at gate but doors closed and jetway moving back. literally just missed it. Anyway...was fine w/SDC and got upgraded to FC on both legs. I guess because it was *technically* delayed, it bumped up my priority.
*3 - Did a SDC for routing thru LGA instead of ATL. Was upgraded right away on LGA-RIC segment. Got upgrade at gate for MCO->LGA segment
*4 - Did a VDB for voucher. New flight was delayed multiple times. Was going to be stuck in ATL. Asked to rebooked for Monday morning. Booked into Y and confirmed upgraded on both segments
*5 - Got on standby list for a flight an hour earlier (was the next gate to the one where I'd just arrived from RIC...thought...wth). Was #16 for 9 seats. Ended up in FC!
*6 - Was 10th out of 30 or so but ended up in FC due to, I'm assuming, a lot of missed connections due to the widespread delays in ATL after the storms came through....caused quite a backlog effect.
*7 - Was booked on L fare for 4/28 departure but had to change to 4/27. Got booked into an "A" fare and made seat selection for 1 of 3 remaining first class seats.
*8 - This was my 140th segment. Made DM. DM reflected in Skymiles acct by Wed.
*9 - SDC from connecting in LGA to thru ATL. Upgrades posted Sat. night
*10 - Winter weather waiver. Changed from LGA to DTW 2 days prior. On way to airport on 11/26, DTW flt would be major delayed. Changed to thru ATL. ATL-MCO cleared on phone. RIC-ATL cleared at gate.

I know some think that.... I used the 2012 and 2013 threads to plan travel, as there are many options for those of us not in hubs, and it can help to chose which route to go when all other options are equal....
Thanks for playing, though!

To properly analize the upgrade probablities I would ned the following data:
Status, Date, Day, Flight #, Segment, Fare class, Result, UG? (Yes/No), timing
Example:
DM, 1/1/2014, Sunday, DL-1234, ATL-MCO, U, Yes, Gate (battlefield)
This date in this form could be used to identify the high/low probability UG opportunities.
