3) Upgrades to Chicago and SF. What is the general success rate for upgrades on these flights for PE and 1K? I usually fly out Monday afternoon and back at the crack of dawn on Friday's. I've had a decent upgrade percentage on Delta (the only thing thats kept me from switching to date), and was wondering how the mid and high tiers at UAL fared.
