Guys
My upcoming round trip journey has a full Y class on the MIA-LHR leg on AA56 on 27Feb.
I am EXP and don't want to waste a SWU for that leg if I am likely to be upgraded as I have a full Y class sector.
Can anyone advise whether this complimentary upgrade is likely to happen ?
I have never had this situation before.
Thanks !

I'd use a SWU if I were you.

Upgrade List Question
After checking at the airport for domestic flight, I was told I was #2 on the upgrade list with 3 seats available. I am a platinum. In what scenarios (other than travel disruption) could another platinum jump ahead of me?

A plt who submitted his/her initial request before you but checked in after you will end up higher on the list.

Two weeks ago. It was F1 at T-4, I was #1 on the upgrade list. 30 minutes later the F seat was gone, I remained #1 on the list throughout and flew in Y.

Revenue management leaves it like this until day of. Maybe they sell a few high $$ F seats, but they dont want to move people of Y a that will just allow their system to further oversell Y- but then they wont have F space to move them into!
Replace J for F and still applies.
I would not count on an op up as they would upgrade plats and golds before your free op. 22 days away you might not clear at this point.

AA50 DFW-LHR 2/6/15 Upgrade List
If anyone here has access to the PALL list I'd be very interested to know what happened with upgrades on AA50 (DFW-LHR) yesterday 2/6.
I'm not claiming any shenanigans, I'd just like to know how the one upgrade that was processed came to be processed (Pax = CHO, A). TIA.

AA183 on 2/9
Just UPG'd on Sat like 48 hr before flight time, and seat map is wide open. Of course, with weekend UPG's they never finish the ticketing so a call is necessary to get seats and preorder meals. Must be a case of rampant optimism or unrealistic expectations in there somewhere.

Upgrade US Reservation on AA metal with AA status?
Apologies if this was covered somewhere but I have this situation on Sunday and can't seem to find an answer.
Due to a pricing mismatch between AA and US, for a recent RT from DFW, I booked the outbound on AA.com and the return on the US website. Both flights are on AA metal. As an AA Platinum (no US status) I was able to request the upgrade on my outbound, but is it possible to get upgraded on my return (AA flight # booked on USair.com)?

Is there anyway to see how many people are waitlisted for a upgrade on a given flight?

In the weeks and days prior to a flight, even AA agents cannot easily see the list. They are not supposed to share that info with you.
