Looking for any suggestions (besides buying a Y tick).
Last Friday was the first time I have flown the route, but I was upgraded at the beginning of my Gold window, no problem. Actually, when I went in to change my seat assignment, there were only 3 other people in the (large) cabin.
As another poster mentioned, I was on the 757 flight mid-morning (~11ish?).
