Well, not so fast...
It all depends where you fly from and to. I fly from DCA thru IAH enroute to wherever, and I absolutely CANNOT get an upgrade, either EUA or Battlefield, to save my life. Similarly, DCA-EWR flights are upgrade-less, save the stray gate upgrade.

So, for some of us, upgrades are still very often battlefield. Consider yourself lucky to not be in this situation.

From the coach section, where I'm turning in my free booze certs given to me with my new 2005 Platinum Elite packet to suffer a little less in cattle class,
