codeshare upgrade?
I'm a silver on EWR to LHR this weekend on a codeshare Virgin flight. Anybody know if I have any chance of getting upgraded, even to VA's premium economy? A phone rep told me my best option is to inquire of the agent at the VA desk when I check-in. I'm looking for some pointers if you'd care to share.

Last time I checked in they made me wait on the economy check-in line. No special privileges. In particular, watch out for some of the strictest carry-on rules in the air, especially on the LHR side of the pond.
Anyway, internationally, I do not think CO has ever upgraded me either, which is one of my biggest complaints with CO.
