I don't fly across the Atlantic that much. Next week, I'll be taking my first such flight in about two years. But a colleague of mine who travels to various European cities regularly (last week, he was in Vienna) says that he rarely "wastes" his frequent flyer miles on upgrades these days, since flights to Europe aren't very full, and therefore the coach section is roomier and more comfortable than the business class section. Is this everyone else's experience? Am I going to curse myself out for wasting my awards when I fly business class next week?
