First shot at upgrade:

1/7 - CLT-ATL - T fare - Was 10/10 with 7 FC free
Currently: [Fare Classes: F/6 P/5 A/4 Y/9 B/9 M/9 H/9 Q/9 K/9 L/9 U/9 T/9 E/9]

MrsSuperG (GM)
1/3 MSY-LGA Q Fare upgraded at gate. DL held 10 of 12 for the gate on a 319. She was 1 of 5 on the list at T-3 hrs. Flight went out with at least 1 empty F seat.
1/3 LGA-MSY Q Fare Upgraded 4 days out.

So far I'm at 200%.

PM and kettle companion cleared at each window (for separate PNRs) for LGA-PBI on 1/1/2013.

The return is showing F1, so not expecting a repeat.

First time participating, but last year did reasonably well (about 35% as an FO, but 1 for 8 travelling with kettle companion who just hit FO)

2013 Percentage = 10% (3/30) as FO
57% as GM (12/21)
100% as PM (2/2)

I don't have as much detail as others, although things are looking different than 2012.

GM 2012 (by MQMs): UG 5 days out whenever around 5 seats available.
GM 2013 (by segments): 1st flight of the year (T) less than 2 days away, and entire F open--16 seats! No UG yet. :confused:

The online DL seat map showing all open does not necessarily mean that there is no one in F yet, it could also mean that some of the people who are going to be in F just have not chosen their seats yet.

Thanks for the info. Seems I learn something new from FT every time I visit!

Upgraded 1/3 on LAX-JFK as PM. Business elite product is so great!

So far so good.

Did anyone notice? This topic is completely worthless for so many reasons.

Gee, why don't you tell us what you REALLY think?

Not worthless to me. It's nice to have a place to log this information, and to see what routes are being upgraded regularly for others at different status levels.

If you find it worthless, I suggest you no longer click on the link that leads to reading it.
