Made Silver in June. Haven't flown them since until last week.

SFO-IAH 757 : Upgraded at gate with 2 other passengers, I believe. Placed on a wailist once I checked in around 10:20 am

IAH-ORD 737 : Upgraded on the plane before takeoff by gate agent. I guess someone didn't show or something.

Although I obviously don't mind being upgraded, but is there anyway to confirm this earlier (i.e. midnight day of flight)? I called CO the night before both my flights and said F was full, but yet I was upgraded. What gives? I called normal reservations instead of the Silver hotline. What should I have done differently?

I was looking forward to trying the tri-colored pasta, but surprisingly there wasn't any left when the FA came by (!) Had some funky turkey sandwich and split pea soup.
