Route SEA-DFW
Flight Number: 452
Status 100K
Fare Class: T
Add companion, Yes
Time the upgrade cleared or position on waitlist if didn't clear: Upgraded T-24.
Date of ticket purchase: 11/15/2023

1 open seats in FC at T-120. 1 open seats in FC at T-72, #1 and # 2 on waitlist. Upgraded at T-24.

Once I saw we were #1 and #2 at T-72 hours with one seat open, I thought we would get bypassed like so many 100K's before. Two more seats opened up at T-36 and I was thinking we had a chance, if the upgrade professor was sober. They were and we got upgraded on an award ticket.

It’s also a 738 so the odds are harder. But it’s my first failure of the year. Thankfully empty middle in PC.

FC has been half full for weeks, so this felt safe.

4/9, Q class

UG @ T - 118 hours

4/9, Q class

UG @ T-23.5 hours. J3U3 for WL #1/1.

On 4/10 I had two additional flights and because I had grown tired of the reduced success rate of complimentary upgrades on certain routes, I booked into FC (I class). AS wins. 🤙🏻🍹

Route (Please bold if failure): MIA-PDX
Flight Number: 316
Status: 100K
Fare Class: G
Add companion, if there was one: NO
Date of Ticket Purchase: 2/6/24

Flight was sold out in F. I was seated in an exit row aisle and right before door closure, the Gate Agent came through and pulled me up to F ( I was #1 on the WL). Two seats were open - my guess is a missed connection from an International flight - I saw other people board that said Immigration was backed up. Another person was called up to the other seat.

This was my MM flight. After takeoff, over the intercom they announced that this flight made me a MM. Before landing, the FAs also gave me a card signed by all of them. A very nice touch actually.

I hope that GA got back to the terminal 🤙🏻. Congrats on MM status!
