Not sure if being in Y helps us on the upgrade list, however, I am on an IROPs itinerary heading to NYC tonight/tomorrow...
For MSP-LGA I am #2 out of 11 on the upgrade waitlist for 4 F seats... I highly doubt that there is 9 AS elites or DL elite companions on the waitlist...
For some reason, DL's site won't show me the upgrade waitlist for LAX-MSP
Will find out when I arrive in LAX.
Honestly, I don't care about upgrades at this point for this trip, all I care about is that I get into NYC on time tomorrow AM [7:05AM MSP-LGA flight].
