On ORD and IAH, priority is:
  • GS upgrades
  • Y/B/M "instant" upgrades, sorted by fare class, then status
  • Instrument upgrades, sorted by Premier status, then fare class, then time of waitlist request
  • CPUs, sorted by Premier status, then fare class then time of purchase/check-in

So you will be behind all GS, 1Ks using instruments on higher fares, and all premiers on Y/B/M fares
WOW, thanks

How does I fare class fit in - I assume it is at the top? That is probably what I will try most likely, although I fear that method may be gone by then.

How far out "Can" we clear, or will it all wait until several days before the trip, based on the normal 96 hour upgrade window?
