LGA-ORD (E170)

sort of going against the mantra of bigger cabin = better chances.
UX flights typically have been among the easier upgrades, from the E500 days through UDU and now into CPU. The percentage of F seats can be fairly high (the Q400 and CR7 both have a higher percentage of F than do the A319 and A320, and on par with the 737-700). They also are often found on routes which aren't as elite-heavy, which helps.
