My question is, what are people's experiences with AMS - IAH, i.e. for upgrade chances on specific days?
If you're talking about a nonstop, I think you might need to go over to the United forum...Unless you're talking about IAH-DFW-AMS, or IAH-PHL-AMS.
Availability varies, of course, and you likely won't clear an upgrade until closer to the date of departure. Next Wednesday, 9 May, DFW-AMS is showing C1, PHL-AMS C0. Same with the Wednesday after, so there is confirmable space NOW for two Wednesdays out of DFW. You're right that mid-week is your best bet.
