My question is how long before the upgrade will come through? I purchased the ticket about 10 days ago. Thanks for the help.
IMO it does not work at all. If you cannot get the UG at the time of booking I would not buy he ticket unless you are ok with being in the back. I have never had a wait list clear....ever.
