  • LAX > EWR (red eye - bought Economy L class)
  • Flight is at end of March (purchased ticket mid January)
  • Platinum Status
  • I'm currently waitlisted with Copay+Miles on either Polaris ($250+20K miles) or Premium Plus (for a little lower)
  • Current Cash upgrades are: PP: $979; Polaris: $1320
I'd watch the upgrade prices because not super high on list - always a chance though!
