When does your EUA arrive?
Sometines they don't arrive at all 
, but that's another issue. Today mine came in the E-mail at 9:34 PM EST, 5 days out 
^ 
. And this was a "W" fare, bought the ticket this AM. I've never noticed one before midnight 5 days out, they're usually in the wee hours.

Most of my recent ones have come in the evening, between 6:00 PM and midnight central time.

I rarely see EUAs anymore. Most all of the upgrades I get (that is if I get one) are battlefield.
I would love to see an e-mail again!

Interesting that you ask that, because I, for the first time ever, got a 4-day-before notice of an EUA. That's for my first domestic flight since recently becoming Gold, so I was not sure if that's typical for all Golds (and Platinums) or not. It seems not. Or, at least, not until now. If others are seeing this new phenomenon maybe it's something new. Whatever, I like it!

Despite the Plat status, mostly they don't (arrive). If they do, it varies wildly. I got one one 7 days out (not a Y or even an H fare) but mostly my upgrades have been at the gate. I'm less than 50%, even on H fares. I'l have done about 40 segments this year by the end of this week and am getting really tired of CO. Excuse the brief vent...

Half Past Never
Just kidding, when they come in, they usually come to me between 2am and 8am the day when they're run.

so far in '06 my PHL-IAH flights were EUAed 5 days out, I was flying Mid-day, my IAH-PHL cleared but maybe since they were latter in the day they cleared the morning of.
IAH-LAX & LAX-IAH never cleared Except 1 time when it was done on the Plane
EWR-LAS never Cleared at all. Got lucky on the LAS-EWR Both day of, Once on the 1st flight out the other on the 2nd flight out
As for EWR-MCO both times were at off Times and cleared 6 days out. MCO-EWR never cleared as most people up front were connecting onto Intl flights. i wont make that mistake again no more Noon time + flights.

Mine usually arrive 1 minute before the door closes, and if there is someone sitting next to me, I always take it, or if there is no one next to me and I'm really tired, I take it.

Just got notified last night (Feb 26) for my return flight from MCO on March 02. So this is the second 4-day advance notification in a row. Are you guys sure this is not typical for Gold Elites? (He says hopefully.) I'm two for two now.
