Upgrade advice EWR-SFO-PPT
So we are 8 days out till our flights to Tahiti and looking for advice for possible upgrade. I'm premier gold and wife is silver. Booked the flight K class but have the economy plus subscription. Award upgrade is $600 + 30k per person but wait list. Pay is $2200 per segment per person (not worth it to me) My question is, should I put in for the waist list? or wait and see if Award travel goes off wait list and see if I can just scope it up? Is wait list a disadvantage? I only had luck a few times with wait list. Thank you Knowledgeable one!
