* How do you figure out whether to expend reward miles for an upgrade on this or any other route, when your're holding Gold status and might get upgraded anyway?

I'm platinum and often miss upgrades on this route. I would never spend miles on it as long as I could get an exit row. If I can't get an exit row, I fly a different airline.
