Is there a conventional wisdom on any of these (LAX to/from ORD/DFW) routes with regard to aircraft type and upgrade liklihood? I thought perhaps I'd have a better shot if I were to choose an MD-80 at a particular time over the 767 for the same reasons
I'd rather ride the Boeing, but I couldn't seem to make out any particular logic by looking at the available seats, etc.
Any suggestions are much appreciated. I've got to fly these routes from time to time and I'd love to have a strategy.
As you are perhaps aware AA455 is the only 763 flying ORD/LAX and is a 2 class service.
I have taken that flight four times so far this year, twice on a Monday and twice on Tues and everytime my upgrade has cleared close to the 72 hour mark ( I am plat)
I would think but cant be certain that becuase of the larger number of seats and being later in the evening the 763 would be easier to upgrade.
I have no experience with the DFW flight.
