So this is where the fare bucket availability on existing reservations gets a little frustrating.

I haven't been upgraded yet on my first flight for tomorrow. As many of us know, CO likes to release a bucket load of "R" seats the day before the flight and then processes them as part of EUA just before the 24 hour check-in mark.

Tomorrow's flight is F4 and now is suddenly showing R3 which means CO is willing to upgrade three people and leave the flight at F1. No problem as that is what CO has been doing for years. But what's frustrating is that as of this morning (still 10 hours before check-in can open) the "R" seats are there and you just sit here wishing CO would have just run the EUA already so you know whether you get the upgrade.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining at all. This adds more transparency to the process and I'm all for it. As a plat member I'll just continue to assume one of those three "R" seats is mine at just before OLCI opens later today.
