I expect an early morning flight on a Monday morning out of Minneapolis to be elite heavy, but that's crazy. Just crazy. I wonder what the flight to Chicago–Midway is like.

Been getting great upgrades out of the Pacific Northwest. Got upgraded out of PSC, PDX and SEA, all as a silver. Granted usually on Saturdays or Sundays, but it's nice getting an upgrade on a 3 hour leg to MSP.

Flying EWR-CLT - the UG list is 36/76 total seats on an E175...that’s got to be a really high % number. I bought the upgrade to F since I was stuck in Y- when I booked.

MSP-MDW on a CR7 today had 30 on the list. That means half the Y cabin was on the list. 0 cleared.

I have the flip side tonight. ORD-RDU, delayed by weather but with no good reroute. Booked to 54 on a CR7. I am the only person in F, and nobody is on either the F or C+ upgrade lists. 8 remaining in F, 15 in C+ although some folks will get op ups to C+.

I always clear at MDW. A lot of times I'll SDC on an ORD/DTW after I've checked in and know I won't clear on the ORD flight but as soon as I check in for the new MDW flight I'm always number 1 on the list. Diamonds must perfect ORD over MDW when flying to Detroit.

On DL2622 this morning and as a Platinum Medallion member (booked 8 weeks out) I’m 52 on an upgrade list of 114! Two actually already cleared, so with 116 originally on the list that’s almost half of the plane (234 capacity on the 757-300). Longest upgrade list I’ve ever seen personally.
