I can certainly understand that. And most of my MSP/SEA flights I try to fly off-hours whenever possible. The one I missed was the Friday 5pm-ish MSP-SEA flight, and it was PACKED.
I do wonder what your upgrade percentage is now that you've switched airlines. Presumably upgrades are tough at peak times on
any airline, no?
