IAH-LGA went well. Although did not get upgraded automatically and on the phone. I was pleasantly surprised to see the E-service station upgraded me. Later found out that this flight was delayed and all the Elites went to the earlier flight. The flight ended up being delayed for only 45mins. So I am happy.

My first experience using EUA. We are booked EWR-TPA on Dec 23 CO577. Tickets were purchased in October. My husband and I are both Gold Elites (courtesy Centurion AMEX). At 1:24 am we were emailed that we had been upgraded to FC. ITN still shows 3 seats available for upgrade.

1 for 1 as a NW silver. I don't expect it to continue, but I was in no condition at 12:01 last to even dial a phone so I'll consider this my Christmas gift http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

As of today 4/7 as CO Gold. Two segments were on full fare coach (both upgraded). 2/4 on receiving e-mail notification.

3 for 4 so far without calling. I have a sneaking suspicion as a NW Silver I'm getting put in front of CO eltites somehow. Last flight I saw 4 CO Plat's (2 couples) head to the back while I was up front. After I used a kiosk to check-in and print my luggage tag (It was golf clubs for Christmas; I never check bags intentionally!) the counter agent asked if I was Platinum. I mumbled, " hurmmph Northwest hurrumph." Out came my 1B boarding passes and away I went http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

Not sure they have the link with NW FF# quite right, but it's working for me now!

That's OK..I've done the same with NW http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

As a CO Plat. So far this year--

10 for 10 on NW by calling
4 for 4 on CO by EUA.

I gather this success is typical for Platinums? Is anyone on FT keeping a full tally on EUA?

This year as Plat....0 for 3. Tried calling. no luck

Wow, none? What routes were they on?

I am 0 for 2 (Gold), but I got upgraded by calling/begging on the last segment as EUA somehow passed me by...

Next week I have four segments so we will see how that goes.

To add insult to injury, my coworker who got upgraded (Plat) was seated next to a newly minted Silver member upgraded via EUA, while I was summoned to the torture chamber.

1/3 TPA - IAH no EUA, but cleared wait list.
1/3 IAH - SEA EUA.

1/8 SEA - IAH EUA
1/8 IAH - TPA EUA

So, 3/4 for EUA with a save from the waitlist. Actually, there were 5 spots open from the waitlist. Hard to believe that many people missed the flight, especially since it was at 9am (no connections).

12 for 12 with EUA so far.....THANK YOU CO!!! Getting proper rest now that I don't have to call...Yahoooooo!!!!!!

Shocked my departure EWR-MSY got the early morning e-mail: "your upgrade is cleared!" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

UPDATE: First class on the return MSY-EWR was completedly "sold out" according to the gate agent (who was getting annoyed at telling every elite who asked for upgrades of that fact.) I asked the agent if all of first were Platnium or revenue and he said that was confidential information.

10 seats in first. Passengers included a teenager.

Glad I got my aisle seat and a decent seat mate in a middle seat (who did not ask me to move even though his wife was on the other side also in a middle seat.)

Not to stir any stuff, but I'm batting 100% on around 50 flights since EUA started. Granted, I have had to go on the waitlist for a handful but got every one.

Yes, I am Plat.
