Best chances for upgrades from hubs to LA are on Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday flights. I have seen Sunday upgrade lists from LA to ATL with over 60 passengers on it.

Depending on where in LA you need to travel and if you are going to have to connect and upgrades are important, BUR/ONT do sometimes work better.
Sorry. I should have made it more clear that I live in LA and I fly all over the country (from Portland Maine to Orlando to Seattle and Dayton, etc).

Are LAX upgrades hard to come by? Should I be trying to fly out of Burbank or Orange County?
