Are there any automatic upgrade programs left?
Are there any FF programs left that have automatic upgrades to business? I know that United sure doesn't do it (at least, not for me and I have their highest level). I am willing to COMP to any carrier that offers this service.

AA offers free upgrades to elites on flights within North America if you pay full (Y) or nearly-full (B) fares. They function like upgrades on 500-mile upgrade credits in terms of when they're confirmed, capacity controls, etc., except that no credits are taken from your account.

Are you asking about domestic or international travel? I doubt you will find anyone willing to give you automatic upgrades on International segments at any level.

Yes, NW as a Platnium elite, which by the way is only 75,000 miles does free upgrades to first on all domestic service for you and a companion, plus you can upgrade on CO flts as well for free.

MX offers free upgrades to Silvers from full fares only, I think. At the airport may be a different story. They'll also known to offer Hottie Operational Upgrades.
