checkout udustats.com for chances on your favourite routes

You will also have the ability to upgrade domestic itineraries for 15,000 miles without fees, and of course will never pay to check a bag.
I can give my UDU experience on ORD-YYZ as a 2P for a datapoint, as I fly this route fairly frequently.

I think I cleared once or maybe twice very early on when UDU started out on YYZ-ORD flights, but have not cleared once since mid-May. The other way, however, on ORD-YYZ, I haven't missed an upgrade this year. I can never really figure that out. I would have cleared easily both ways in Dec., going into YYZ on 12/23 and out on 12/26 (F was half-full on both flights), however, I was on an award.
