Brooklynflyer, I myself have the same similar name problem! What I do ,is 24 hours in advance I go to the airport here in Phoenix and check in. You though living in NYC is another problem! What a joke! Good luck.

The way I look at it, don't count on it and it becomes a pleasant surprise when you do get a battlefield.
The computer DOES correctly indicate that no upgrade seats are available at the time of check-in and it doesn't know what's gonna change between that time and the time the flight actually leaves the gate.
