the one time i tried this she told me i couldn't upgrade even though there were about 7 empty seats.
thoughts, suggestions are much appreciated
You need to start reading. I suggest you go through the FAQ about UA sticky at the top of this forum (link below). Everything about upgrading will be explained to you. No free upgrades; I never managed to clear an upgrade when I was a 3P! So many elites will be ahead of you in line, and as stated, you must have the upgrade instrument to support it. The number of empty F seats is meaningless.
