A few hours later, number 5 on upgrade list, but still lots of available seats, and still a $100 TOD.
By the next day, #7 on list, F checked in full.
Under UDU, this upgrade clears all the time.
You do know that being #1 on the list at T-24 doesn't mean you're actually the highest ranked person waiting for the upgrade, right? Even without the fare difference to upgrade there is the very real possibility that others were ahead of you on higher fares or earlier purchases.
