Getting an upgrade
Guys, I am flying to BKK this july and it looks like the LAX HKG flight is full or overbooked. I am at the lowest elite level from last year, I earned it again already so far and I am going to be gold level by november.Any suggestion on how to be upgraded and not waiting to hear from lady LUCK?

Did you mean you are a MPC Silver and try to redeem a U ticket? Did you just check on the web or called MPC? Check with MPC. There are several flights a day and they will be able to waitlist (or get you) you on a flight.
If you have traveling companion, then there may be a problem.

If you're at the lowest rung of elite statuses, then may we suggest you just hope that lady luck is smiling down on you...
There may be other people ahead of you hoping for just the same!

The wonderful thing about LAX services is that 2 out of the 3 flights are consistenly operated by B74J flights. The additional business class seats makes op-up or mileage upgrade a little easier than other routes. I have had op-ups as a Silver on this route.
