With all this talk of the old paper certificates, my somewhat aging grey matter is telling me that in the first few years of Super Elite an upgrade with a SSWU could be snagged at the time of booking regardless of fare class or date of travel.
Was this true or am I suffering from old timers??

"Our Lady of Loreto -- Patron Saint of Air Travel"
After googling this, it turns out there is a competing spirit as well: Saint Bona of Pisathe patron saint of pilots, airmen and flight attendants as per declaration of Pope Benedict XV on March 24, 1920

I didn't spend much time in that lounge. My international travel only really took off after T2 was completed and the new MLL opened. I did spend enough time there, though, to really appreciate how much better the MLL is
