Hello all:

I am a newbie and looking forward to learning a lot by reading these forums. I'm planning to book a flight from EWR to either FRA or MUC, traveling in September. I'd like to upgrade using miles. While I can get an upgrade for the outbound, I cannot upgrade the inbound for either of the two dates I can travel (mid-September, Sunday or Monday). At first I thought it might be too early, and the seats were not released, but I find that upgrades are available the day after I need to return (Tuesday). A quick check of available seats in Business First shows that hardly any seats have been booked for the dates I want. (FRA-EWR, for instance, only one seat out of 50 is currently booked).

Is this a day-of-the-week issue? How likely is it that upgrades will become available on a Sunday or Monday?

Many thanks

Shybuck.
