or

JFK-BOS-MSP CRJ7 & B737 (dinner) DL 6399 & DL 766

I would go with DTW just because there's a ton more seats in F but there's no meal, while BOS would be less seats, but wouldn't BOS-MSP be less elite heavy anyway?

btw it's on a Thursday afternoon (May 12th) so i know my chances are even smaller, but just trying to maximize them here!

Thanks in advance for any suggestion
I don't remember who it is, but someone was reporting that BOS-MSP flights (and/or the reverse? sorry ) was actually very challenging to get an upgrade on. I seem to recall Thursday nights being particularly difficult.
