July 6th: CO1097 (IAH-LAS) - 10 or so empties out of 20 on a 739; saw that when checking the incoming flight for our outgoing CO296 (LAS-IAH) which was full in F with only two upgrades. Neither is probably surprising for the Sunday after 7/4.
I sympathize with you on the mileage upgrade mbluecpa. I did the same thing for the LAX-CLE flight on Monday since I was coming off an 8 1/2 hour flight in Y on Air Tahitti and didn't want to risk another 4 hours in the back. Plus, since I didn't have daily email while I was gone it would have been torture for five days wondering if the upgrade had come through. Oh well, you can't put a price on piece of mind!
