You make a good point, MIle King. I've been
upgraded on my primary airline, UA out of EWR. I've found it tougher to upgrade on UA
out of Chicago and DEN, which I believe are
UA"s big hub cities.

Now that I'm flying CO also out of EWR, I've discovered if you want an upgrade, you best
chance is to be Gold ELite (From my last trips to Vegas, I've found there are a lot of them!)

As for JFK and LAG, if you can get there and out in one piece, that's worth the price of
an upgrade! CATMAN
