Even outside that window Sunday night has U space open. Now compare that to the main lines and it’s a stark difference.
The SAN-JFK redeye is usually a sure upgrade for me and I am only MVPG. When I go to ANC next month I'm actually doing ANC-SEA-SAN-JFK since the timing works and I'd rather be up front on the redeye.
