I am a non-business traveler living in New York City (JFK, LGA, EWR) who has 100K miles each in DL, CO, and AA frequent flyer programs. Recently I decided to earn premium status from DL (since it seemed the easiest to attain) so that I might upgrade when I travel to Europe and in the US, but now I am not so sure. I usually purchase bargain fares or weekend Web specials, which I discovered are not upgradeable on DL and probably not on AA but seem to be on CO. For someone in my situation, does elite status make sense and if so, on which airline?

You can upgrade on web specials on AA. Never had any problem doing it.
