Had open FC seats all week and then equipment swap to new 738 adding four more FC, so 7 open seats. Then this morning a swap back to smaller cabin. I think they blocked advance upgrades until this equipment swap.

2026: 1/3 U success.

Not sure what was happening with this flight. Swapped to a new 16FC Max8 two days out. Then new seats half filled off the awaiting seats list two days out. I sat at #3 the whole time and FC slowly filled until one seat left. And the I jumped into it from #3 spot. Assuming companions.

2/4 U success.

#1/#2 on UG list @ T-72 with 8 seats avail, all but 2 seats upgraded @ T-20, this route usually sells all but maybe a couple seats well before departure, 8 seats available @ T-72 is highly unusual

#1/#2 on UG list @ T-72 with 6 seats avail, aircraft swap <T-12 increased F seats available to 10, @ T-3 the top 4 on UG list dropped off, but nobody else so I dont know how they filled the other 6 seats (fire sale price on the upgrade app???)

U score: 3/3

Interesting that there were 9 open seats at T-24 with a $323 upgrade fee. I was number 2 and 3 which cleared at T-23. I have never seen that many open FC seats held to T-24.

If it weren’t for the SNA seat caps I’d say SFO-SNA is ripe for some upgauging. Consistently sold out on some days of the week.
