On the flip side, if I'm
#3 on the upgrade list, with 1 or 2 seats left (especially my HNL-SFO) flights, I like the flexibility to jump the queue so to speak. As a 1K, I'm rarely
#1 on the list anymore from HNL or SFO (or DEN or EWR) with so many GS, so it works for me to be able to buy up more cheaply than paying for it a ticketing.
