Need upgrade advice from Ohio based elites
I am finalizing my move to Japan early in June and want to take as much as I can this time as checked luggage. I'll be able to fly out of CMH preferably or CLE as a fairly easy alternative.
Can the Ohio elites give me some advice as to the best upgrade chances for a Plat on a T fare out of CMH or CLE? This way I get 3 checked bags rather than 2.
I see the CMH-EWR flight is a DH4 so that is out of the question.
CMH-IAH is a 735
Looks like the early CLE-EWR flight is a 738 and CLE-IAH is a 739, but I assume more plats fly from CLE??
I don't know what day of the week I'll be going yet, Saturday would be nice but its starting to look like I may have to make it a monday (darn double EQM promo, why does it have to end on monday, lol).
Just some general plat upgrade advice from CMH or CLE would be helpful... PIT is even a very remote possibility though the fare is a bit higher.
