Applied Plus Points on 1/24 as it was clear I was not going to get upgraded and the upsell offer was outrageously high. ($711!) I was fourth of sixteen and jumped to the top when I applied plus points. First time I have ever done this, so I have 300 left. It cleared less than 12 minutes after I checked in at 24 hours prior to takeoff. Yeah, I know its only a two and half hour block time flight but I prefer the seats up front than those in the rear. Plus, its 1A and I have somewhat of a time constraint so getting off the plane immediately is perfect. Also, I just don't have anything internationally planned unless I can talk myself into IAD-SFO-PPT-SFO-IAD in September. Should have taken the upsell offer a few weeks ago of $149. Would have helped on the PQP side. I probably won't use Plus Points on the way back on 2/7 as E+ only has 8 seats occupied, notwithstanding the two E+ upfront that are blocked until 24 hours prior to departure, and 7 seats are available in F. Flight isn't even showing half full yet. I highly doubt that there are seven other 1Ks on my return seated in E+ who purchased higher than K fares for that flight. Upsell offer is $287.
