I fly Monday AM, and Thursday afternoon. For next week, no upgrades yet. CP CS tells me, everyone in F has bought it w/ 6K miles? and Monday completely sold out. Is this normal. Previously I had asked gate agents and they told me there was mix of Plat and CP on flights, so I assumed I'd be pretty good for getting upgraded most times. Now, I'm hoping I didn't just waste $1500. I realize CLT is a hub, and ORD is popular too, but CP I figured would carry the day-given the info I had received.
Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Sammy


Everybody has given you some great advice, I think they all missed one important point, your flight times. Monday AM, everybody is flying out to big business centers like ORD. can you take the next flight or flyout Sunday evening?
