In any case, without further ado:
Those are good numbers. I've been flying MIA-MEX 2x/week for the last two months (many times via DFW) and that's a heavy EXP/CK route (last flight there were 91 EXPs on an A319!). I'm currently at 77% for comp upgrades, luckily I had over $40k EQD last year so I'm usually at or near the top of the list. Surprisingly my upgrades for MIA-LGA-MIA this week all cleared at about 36 hours out, time enough to reserve a meal. I'm not upset.
