I am 7/15, 46.67% as a plat this year, on eligible segments. I fly a lot between LAX and the hubs, especially EWR, but what else can I do? There's no other way for me to route the flights to improve my upgrade percentage. Also, I have done what they want me to do and bought increasing fare classes on my last two trips to EWR. The result? 0/4. For those of you getting upgrades EWR-LAX and EWR-SFO, please post your fare classes. For me, it seems as if they are selling almost all of the F seats on these routes since the introduction of Simplifares, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has gotten an upgarde. Also, were all of your transcon upgrades battlefield, or did you get an EUA email? I can't remember the last time I got an EUA email on a transcon, and I've been plat for about five years.
