I fly PHL-LHR a few times each year. To be fair, I do have some flexibility as far as dates go.

He's saying he's successfully cleared waitlisted SWU's.

Not necessarily. It's highly day, date, and flight specific but it's not uncommon for LAS flights to sell out F with real paid demand.

When I've not bought first, I'm not sure I've ever cleared an upgrade to/from LAS. Of course a lot of my LAS travel has been during peak demand periods (March Madness or a huge convention).

Bottom line - LAS is a strange market that sometimes punches above its weight for paid first.

I never fly during those times and stay far away from airport during CES, March Madness, etc Generally fly out on tue and home on thur for biz travel. Sundays are a mess at that airport (outbound)
