There were 81 on the list for Atlanta–Detroit on a Thursday afternoon last week. 47 for Detroit–Cincinnati on a Friday morning flight.

That may be a touch high for a Friday morning, but that's not abnormal for an A333. That's equivalent to only about 60 folks on a 739 or A321. I've seen higher numbers on widebodies or a 753 but in terms of the highest ratio of elites I've ever seen was 121 on a 739 (so 76% of coach seats) which would be about 198 folks for an A333. Wonder at what point the app just breaks..

It generally is, but this time of the year you have college football playoffs, bowl games and folks going on a week-long vacations that typically involve checking into a hotel on a Saturday.

I remember reading in this thread a while back about regardless of how long the list is, missing it by 1 is infinitely long. I agree 100%.
I was 3rd for 2 the other day. To me, in that moment, that is worse than 50th for 1.

Friday afternoon ATL-PBI there were 76 on the list for a A321.
This was A2. The Sky Priority line wrapped all the way around the end of the terminal back past A1.
