Sounds like I should be happy to have bagged a unicorn on this one, but will keep JFK in mind if I can travel off-peak for transcons.

I was thinking in terms of people spending part of Monday at work then heading to SFO for the remainder of the week, but perhaps that's not as prevalent as I had imagined.

Seriously.
I did. Apparently I used up all my luck getting the upgrade.
It happens. Did you happen to notice the upgrade list? You may have trumped other Golds if your prior 12 month spend was higher than theirs.
Since I cleared at T-24, it was one of the few times I didn't pay attention to the list, though I think I remember it was pretty long.

As a former United 1K I've had plenty of upgrades in the past, and recognize that it can be hit or miss on any given flight.

Nice to be considered a one-percenter!
