again, it depends on the route!
I agree. As it has been said many times in the past. You just can't predict. As been shown lately, upgrades will continue to get more difficult with FCM, fewer airlines, and less flights to chose from. I have been on flights that I thought upgrades were for sure and didn't get them and on flights where I figured an upgrade was never going to happen and got upgraded.
