I know - but I'm just suprised that these are the routes I didn't get the UG on - DCA, for me, has always been the first one to clear with no problems. And the times that I'm flying are generally non-peak times (which is part of the reason I picked them). We'll see - I'll hopefully get UG'd at the gate (especially for the MSP flight) - I'm not complaining - I've got exit rows & bulkheads for the coach segments, so it won't be the end of the world & the extra miles for flying in coach will be welcomed as I've burned through over 500K miles in the past 3 years. Maybe I should just start blocking the rest of my flights from UGs to get some extra miles? Nah!
