I am a new Premier Exec...is that 2P or 1P? What are my chances of clearing the upgrade list when I am standby for flights like IAD-BOS and PHL-ORD? I am traveling on a B fare.
First, on a B fare, you ar eligible for a complementary upgrade- no 500 milers needed. I would say that it really depends on the day/time/flights you are taking on both those routes. Some flights are on 737's where even as a 1K I have not had my upgrade clear, while others are on a 757 which are easier to clear.
