I was prestige until June 3rd, and hit instant Elite that day.

I have used a mix of Latitude and Tango Plus East/West Connector passes, and have been able to book in latitude, grab my seat up front in advance, on all flights, and in at least half the cases have been either able to switch 2 or 4 days out to using one of m T+ FP's (4 e-up for the upgrades) instead of the lat, or if the flights were more tricky to book R space in advance, I've claimed the comp upgrades. The YYC-HNL trip was completely T+ and one ticket (wife) cleared at T-96, and I cleared T-72 and T-48.

Perhaps some of you are trying to book on ultra busy routes, or routes full of SE's or something crazy. Or maybe you are all cheaping out on your tickets and are in the cheapest fare class.

I've burnt all my prestige credits, and am into my E credits.

THe only time this year I had a tough time upgrading was Jan/Feb when everyone was burning their creds from last year and I hadn't yet had my lat pass.

YOu get what you pay for.
