I'm a lowly Silver, so I know my chances of an upgrade are next to none, and supposedly elite upgrades are not done according to fare class, right?

I just want to know if spending an extra $70 is worth it. Thanks!</font>

EUA is done by elite level, then fare class, and finally ticket purchase time. V comes before S. As for whether it is worth it, IMHO definitely not.

Don't fall victim to Gordo's game!
