DCA-CHS and CHS-DCA cleared right at T-100. On an A319 nonetheless. 3 upgrades from Y to F - meaning three EXPs.

Today 4/19

LAS-PHX A321NEO
I am #18 out of 45 for zero seats

PHX-OKC CR7Cleared at the window. (4 currently on the wait-list for 0 seats)

Upgrades were being offered on the app for $205 for both flights when the window opened, and $337 for LAS-PHX and still $205 for PHX-OKC the next day. The upgrade offer on the app did not disappear until T-24 for both flights.

PPro with the corresponding 72 hr window.

PPro 15k LPs so far

4/11/23 AA4889 E175 LAX-SMF: Cleared at T-72, no one on list

4/12/23 AA2860 A320 SMF-PHX: 3/21 on list, 1 cleared at gate

4/12/23 AA2396 A320 PHX-BUR: 2/9 on list, 1 cleared at gate

4/17/23 AA1763 A321 LAX-LAS: Cleared at T-72 with a companion, 4 on list with no one clearing

Any comp upgrade on AA's 319s is a great achievement.

There ended up being 65 people on the upgrade list :D

FWIW my seat 11C (or row 11 for that matter) was probably the 2nd best thing to being up front in the 321. Hell, probably even better as the legroom is more than F in that plane.

Why is AA so hush hush if you made the upgrade list on an International flight using miles and $$. My ticket was showing as unable to view. When I called they said it was an IT issue. IT said I got upgraded and ticket was pending reticketing. Agent refused to tell me the same info? What gives?

PP with 20K LP

4/13 DCA-YYZ AA5667 Upgrade cleared about 3.5 hours before flight
4/16 YYZ-DCA AA5667 Upgrade cleared at 24 hours

Probably the end of my upgrades for the year...

I’m about 11 hours out from my flight. EF shows J0 but the waitlist shows 5 open seats (I’m 1 of 24 for now). What would cause the waitlist to show 5 open seats but J0 on EF (all buckets are 0)?

If all buckets are 0 then economy is most likely oversold, AA has just removed the remaining J inventory for sale (hence J0) to save room to accommodate the oversold Y cabin.

So the flight shows as J0 and you couldn't buy a business seat however there are really 5 seats open up front.

So as #1 on the list you're all but guaranteed an upgrade in these situations.

Thank you, this makes complete sense. I typically clear at T-100 … would’ve been a lot cooler if they did that this time. Oh well… c’est la vie.

Platinum

DFW-PHX on 4/23 upgraded at window (48 hours before my first flight; this is the last leg). It’s a 7am flight on a Sunday so not all that surprising.

This week:

DEL-HKG, Cathay Pacific 77W, Friday night, W-->J op-up. :D

Lie-flat seat gave me a solid 4 hours of sleep on this 4.5 hour redeye which was sure appreciated before connecting onward to PEK.

(yes, I know op-ups aren't the subject of this thread and aren't an AA program benefit. But I'm sure my Emerald status contributed :p)

Also got an op-up today at the gate, ADZ to MIA. Platinum.

Platinum. CLE-CLT #1264. 1 seat. Am 11 out of 19 on the waitlist. Fingers crossed. I think someone put it correctly, MCE is our upgrade. Today.
