It's the big Hub to Hub routes and the biggest business routes where it's hardest to get upgraded. On other routes, you've got a good chance. Most of our upgrades are well in advance of DoD.
However, the pandemic changed behavior. There's less business travel now and more leisure travelers are willing to buy premium cabin tickets.
