upgrades on CO
I've noticed that people say that the upgrades sometimes clear a few days early, 2/4/6. Does this happen on CO too? It's happend to me a few times, but only on NW operated flights.
2. If I booked a reservation with CO, but NW has codeshare on the flight and i'm a NW elite, do I check the F bucket for the NW flights or since I booked it with CO, I look at the F buckets for the CO flights?

The NW codeshare will use CO's fare classes and availability - the numbers should be identicle.
CO sucks at upgrading - you'd be lucky if you got upgraded, let alone a day early.

On my flights the numbers are different. NW has F6, while CO has F0. I'm sorry to hear that your luck with upgrades on CO isn't that great. I've noticed CO to be a little cheap about handing them out, but I've been 100% so far this year. Then again, You fly more than me.

The airline operating the flight processes the upgrade, so CO's numbers prevail here. NW's numbers should match - since they don't, they're probably behind.

Flew MSP-IAH-ELP and back on CO (NWA Code Share) and was upgraded on 3 of the 4 early and got the battlefeild upgrade on the 4th.
I consider myself lucky
