One passenger cleared ahead of us and we sat in 6A/C, saw a passenger in Row 7 get a fruit and cheese plate and my MM SO went up to F and came back with two, both of which I promptly ate... The FA said that the pax was a flight attendant and her husband a gold and they had missed the upgrade. SO was a little miffed that he wasn’t proactively offered one before her...this was our first missed upgrade of 2020.

Cleared at gate immediately before boarding into 1A/C, one passenger awaiting a seat was cleared ahead of us. I assume waitlisted for paid F, and this was an occasion with F0 but two empty pairs due to couples flying on F tickets seated together. SO had to miss the flight at the last minute, which I was upfront about with the gate agent. I kept the F seat as a lowly MVP
on an $80 ticket (refund went through for his half of the GETTHEROW).
This has got to be one of the toughest upgrades in the system...even during a pandemic. This is also one upgrade I would be the most disappointed to not clear....such a long flight.
