Specifically curious on the treatment for CPUs. I’ve been so far down the upgrade list lately. Seems much worse than in Sep-Nov last year on the same route (hub to hub)…
What’s the fare basis of the tickets you’re buying?

Keep in mind too that with all the extensions and lack of flying over the last few years, many of us have an abundance of points. I’m sitting on 1,400. I apply some on almost every flight I take.
