same story as the outbound flight. Never cleared
My favorite routes and you see me @ 6A/6F regularly ... about 20% clear ( and I am optimism here !).

Unless someone decides to not show, looks like I'll die #2 on the list for AUS-SEA today (75K, S fare). This will mark my first missed upgrade of the year and I'm a bit surprised since it's a Monday afternoon/evening flight. J0/seat map full, Y5 with middles open. I'm in PE since booking, though.

FYI theres a separate thread for 75K and below upgrades. dayone made this one solely for 100K reports.

On your post though.. thats such a good upgrade streak!

Ah, thanks for that. It's hard to keep up here, but as a mere 75K, I defer to the 100K's in the thread.

Frustrating as a 100K to see no upgrades

Should I just switch to Delta? 0 for 10 on FC, no kidding, in the last ten flights. Writing this one from the exit row AS1013 ORD SEA. I make a mileage run Nov 21 to make MVP Gold 100K, but it feels like Seattle is the wrong place to live to get upgraded! I get an upgrade to Spokane. Big deal. Any suggestions besides texting Alaska to beg? I dont have time for that!!

Its frustrating not getting an upgrade, certainly!

What routes and dates and time of day are you flying? Where do you land on the UG list? Has FC been sold out?

Things should be better next year when more people drop off from 100K, but feel free to switch to Delta so theres more space for the rest of us . 🤙🏻

Thanks Anteater, but nearly always at #1 on UG frustrates me

My routes are always different, but often include SEA-PHX, SEA-DEN and SEA-ORD

Seattle based here and out of 36 flights this year, I'm at 32 upgrades. The other 4 I had the wife with me and was defeated by the dreaded two player upgrader.

You can call AS to split the reservations. Then the system will treat you as separate pax iirc.

Oh I know....but then I have the bigger problem of Domestic Happiness to contend with. She's only a 75k. It's ultimately just easier to sit together in Premium.
