Hi all -
I am flying out to SAN on business in October. Obviously, my company will not pay for first class, but I did manage to secure a B class fare. I am part of NW WorldPerks - so I know I can use those miles for upgrades.
Before I bought the tickets, I called CO to find out what flights had upgrade availability. Well, I could only secure an upgrade on the return SAN-IAH-BDL flight. Nothing on the BDL(no first)-EWR-SAN flight.
I doubt first is completely full, but rather they haven't opened anymore seats for upgrades (maybe I am wrong?). My question is - would it be worth it calling every so often up until my departure to see if anything is available?
Thanks!!!

It is worth checking back frequently, but CO's transcons are the most difficult flights to upgrade as they are often full with paid F and full-Y upgraders.
