Rant on....

Everything I've always read on FT has led me to believe that as long as F is bookable, an EUA should clear at its designated time. I also know that CO has been known to take F availability away before the EUA runs and add it back...but I didn't think they did it so quickly!

Case and point.....I hit the 5 day mark on a flight from IAH-LGA at 5pm today. at 4:58 I priced out a flight w/mileage upgrade and F availability showed on my flight. 5:00 came and went with no upgrade. At 5:02, I logged out of my OP account, logged back in and priced out another flight....once again, F was available.

I know IAH is hard to get upgrades to from NYC, and I can understand revenue mgmt holding out, but A is only like 40% full and they are obviously more than happy to take miles for the seat....oh well, whatever...I suppose I'll have to wait to clear at the gate.

I can only laugh at the fare bucket shenanigans though....

Rant off.
