(admittedly the Sunday after Thanksgiving might be a bit abnormal day for 'typical' business travel)
So flew this flight now (posting this from the QF lounge at LHR)
Originally booked OMA-ORD-LHR-LUX on Nov 25 with the SWU cleared months in advance.
Afternoon of departure cancelled due to snow in ORD. Nothing available that day.
Auto-rebooked on the same flights through ORD the next day Nov 26 - upgrades maintained.
Called in and moved myself to OMA-DFW-LHR-LUX on Nov 26 via AA78 - upgrades maintained. (And C space was showing for AA78 at ~30 hours before departure.
Good thing I moved - the OMA-ORD flights were cancelled on Nov 26 as well.
Still have not missed a Y-->J SWU or BXP3 longhaul request during my several years as EXP.
