I just got back from another trip to Sweden from the US on SAS. During the last two years I have managed to score upgrades to C based on my UA 1K status 75% of the time and managed to do so this time again with no effort at all. So far all my upgrades have been US - Scandinavia and during Christmas or summer time. The only trip when I was denied was during Feb on EWR - OSL.

For next year we are planning to do a RTW (in Y) as part of our wedding and honeymoon and since I have had such good luck with upgrades on SAS I might try to do as much of it as possible on SAS. A couple of questions

- Are you as likely to score an upgrade from south east asia as you are across the Atlantic?

- Does the season matter? Is summer better than other parts of the year due to vacation travellers?

- Has anyone managed to get an upgrade on a Y award ticket?

Thanks!
