Well, on the dubai to IAD leg return, all worked out well. As planned from the original booking, it was upgraded (and stayed upgraded I should say) to C.

BUUUTUT,

the annoying thing is that the IAD to ORD domestic leg, which was on a waitlist or pending from the beginning moved to DENIED about two days out. Don't know why, but I THINK what has happened is that with an SWU in the record, something isn't working out for DOMESTIC itins, That is BAD BAD BAD.

So, we weren't even on the WAITLIST, which made no sense for a couple of 1K's running in a W fare (might have been higher)

Was too tired to fight it at the gate.
