Maybe SAN has better odds than SFO but can't imagine the routing options out of SAN are that great, you probably have to fly to LAX or SFO for those TATL or TPAC flights and then you're competing against a lot of other elites?
I cannot remember the last time it did not clear. I think my June MAD-IAD flight cleared a week out. My July LAX-SYD flight cleared at booking and my SYD-SFO flight also cleared at booking. My SFO-SAN and SAN-SFO in January had cleared soon after booking.
I am interested in my LAX-SYD flight in December and whether it will clear. It is actually the first time I have not booked a Tuesday/Wednesday flight as the day I am flying was $600 cheaper than Tuesday or Wednesday.
My SAN-xxx domestic flights are not important for the upgrade. Being in SAN just gives me more PQFs.
Edit: IAD-MAD in May cleared about a month after booking.
