I'm not the only one who took the greater EQD requirement to heart! Probably at about $21k rolling EQD right now (though am missing about $500 that I'm waiting for Advantage customer service to fix) and still end up being the first loser more often than this time last year (when I had a lower EQD). This is DCA-MIA/DCA-PBI and vv on Mon/Thurs. F cabins seem fuller too at the window.

I definitely am surviving in aisle MCE seats and don't need the extra calories from the meals, but it's that "oh so close" feeling that gets to me from time to time. Though I'm still probably overall around a 75% success rate this year.

Also adding I’m usually the only person in line for Pre-Check at EWR including this morning....curb to AC is less than 3 mins.

I can’t even get an upgrade to TULSA lol

Any thoughts on this one?

PPRO traveling with PLT fiancée from CUN-PHL-DCA. Cleared the second segment at T-72 but not the first at the same window or today at the PLT window. It has been J6 and C6 since yesterday and I know that 500 mile upgrades do not clear from C space, but still seems odd that we haven’t cleared with all of the award space open and it’s a 333.

12/09 DFW to LGW AA 1608
Upgrade list was 70, yes 70.. I have never seen it that long

Recent domestic flights:

DEN-ORD, 738, Monday afternoon - cleared at 100 hours (connecting there to an overnight TATL which I did not deem worthy of burning a SWU on)

-----

DCA-ORD, 738, Wednesday noon - cleared at 100 hours
ORD-DEN, 738, Wednesday afternoon - cleared at ~36 hours

Slightly under $22K EQD

Quick update: SWU cleared today on this flight. Currently, the website shows 4 available seats in business class. I'm pleasantly surprised because I was cleared on a flight from DFW to PVG an hour before departure last summer.

:)

YYZ to DFW and I'm 4/53. On a 738. Usually with numbers that large it's a wide body. I guess my clue should have been the fact that all MCE seats were sold out 3 weeks in advance.

**Update cleared day of on my LAX to HKG flight- my return flight did not clear. Was #10 on the list

Historical flight schedule
 

Can someone direct me to the appropriate thread:

I'm looking to book a 5am PHL-ORD assuming it'll be cancelled and I'll be able to move to a later flight but I'd like to see what summer 2019's schedule was. Is historical flight data available or can anyone check for me: PHL-ORD Friday in July and the return on a Sunday?

Thank you!

How are flights on December 26 usually?

I am on JFK-CDG, still waitlisted with a SWU, ~$22K rolling, with flight showing J7R7D6. Only 9 days out, and looks like they've opened up C space on a couple of the LHR flights, so here's hoping.

The week around Xmas and New Years is typically a goldmine for upgrade space, shouldn't have any problem at all. Normal paid business travel is non-existent.

JFK-LAX transcon, J sold out, EF shows 2 available in F and it's 10 after boarding time.
None of the plenty folks on the upgrade list cleared. They can't all possibly be for Y to J upgrades??
If it's used for non-rev, shouldn't the F space be 0?

Why not? There's typically an abundance of A space, so anyone looking for a J --> F upgrade would have already cleared.

That's interesting - I would've thought that's a similar rarity like C in this route. This would all be such less of a painful game if AA would just split their list by cabin. Can't be that hard ;-)
