Top tier flyers need to unite and demand more transparency from Airlines. We should know how many upgrade seats are available at time of booking - who wants to watch day after day while no one gets upgraded and seats are just available for sale. Because once all the flights are booked business people will have to book first so you lose.
What is with this new trend?
So, you want AA to give away seats that they can sell for $$'s?
I love my upgrades when I can get them but if I really want to fly in F I will buy the ticket. I will take my chances with the upgrade lottery when I do not buy the F ticket.
I am EXP and I buy many last min tickets with no chance of an upgrade, I can live with that because I do not pay for F so I don't get F.
