Why do I do this to myself? Why does this always seem to happen this way?
I'm looking for availability for UuA for three flights. I check every day for weeks. One of them has a single seat open up so i call right away in a panic and upgrade that flight.
Then I make the mistake of looking at that flight again the next day -- three seats are now available. And they stay that way for days. Of course neither of the other flights have space available.
(Not that I'm complaining. So far with BA I've gotten upgrades on 100% of the eligible flight I tried to upgrade.)
