Another reason why DEN-DCA via CLT even as a dump airport is the new preferred route. Never any upgrade fails. Right behind it is via ORD.

Trying this bonehead itinerary is entirely on me, as I know better.

Edit: make that 21 of 46. ��


Wow, that's rough, especially for a Tuesday. DFW-BOS is another one that can be incredibly hard to upgrade at the wrong times. I was 23 out of 40-something as a 15k EQD EXP on the evening of Presidents' Day this year. Similar to you, I also saw a 40-something list on a Wednesday in mid-October, but thankfully I was in paid F that time.

That said, I've also cleared a couple of Friday noontime BOS-DFW flights at the gate, so, YMMV greatly it seems.
