Will be doing the trip again this coming week, and right now my flights show C9 and F8. Seat map in Y looks almost full. C seat map looks almost full. F seat map is empty except for 2 seats. My upgrades to C using CR1s were confirmed well over a week ago.
Every time I take these legs, the flights are sold out, with standby for Y, so clearly they UG members with status to make room for more Y pax.
The only seats I know are reserved for 1P and above are rows 5 & 9 in C cabin.
i agree. i have upgraded on two ps flights jfk-lax as a 1p and jfk-sfo as a 2p/3p (cant remember), while thats only two data points, combined with your 8, it seems like 1ks would always get upgraded because those 10 were from levels below 1k. my next ps flight is lax-jfk in december, so, as a 1k now, im not really worried about not getting the upgrade (granted it is 2 days after christmas, so we'll see). have any 1ks here ever not gotten an u/g on ps flights if they requested it?
