Make sure you are on the list after checking in by checking the mobile site - if you're not on the list you won't get upgraded.
star_world, what do you look at to determine this? I'm not questioning your conclusion, rather, I am completely uninformed at how best to evaluate upgrade chances and would like to know more. Thanks.
