I'm flying FAT-LAX-DTW-DCA tomorrow night. The FAT-LAX flight is an AA codeshare - the rest is on NW metal. LAX-DTW hasn't upgraded yet (go figure - that route never upgrades!) & DTW-DCA cleared already.

Is there any way to get on the UG list for LAX-DTW? I have no way of checking in for the flights (on NWA.com or AA.com) in advance to get on the UG list. I'm guessing No - but if anyone has any tips or tricks, please let me know.

Thanks!
