Upgrades becoming easier?
As an anthesis to the "Upgrades becoming harder" thread. I have actually noticed the opposite. According to Fox Bussiness News last night I saw that travel was down 19% in Feb.
I booked an early Apr ICN trip with a return in mid-april. When I booked it yesterday the upgrades waitlisted and then cleared this morning, both ways. I booked my coworkers ticket this morning and then his upgrades cleared right away.
My domestic CR1s are clearing early as well - a May flight with 2 transcons have already cleared.
Just my 2 pennies.
