April 12 - DCA-MSP-DEN with an April 16 return DEN-MSP-DTW-DCA

Last year, I flew about 50 upgradeable segments & only 1 was in coach for MSP-SEA.

This week, I've missed two advance upgrades - oddly, both are DCA flights (which I've never missed upgrades on, even as a Gold & Silver the past 3 years before). I didn't get UG'd on my DTW-DCA flight (a Wednesday 6:36AM flight - showing P5 F3) or my DCA-MSP (a Thursday 8:45AM flight - showing P2 F2) flight. Neither flight's remotely close to being over & both are on paid fares. I'm not so worried about the DTW flight, but I really wanted to be in F on the MSP flight.

Such is life...I'm just suprised the advance UG's didnt' go through on these routes...
That's good luck on your part. Next Monday I'm flying MSN-MSP-SMF in the back. MSP-SMF is already P0 F0. The Thursday return is already upgraded all the way through.

I don't much care about upgrades MSN-MSP or MSN-DTW (or vice-versa), but I like having them on the long segments. Oh well.
