He sits up front if we split. I'm 8 inches shorter and 80 lbs lighter and I don't drink alcohol, so some of the amenities of first/biz are far more important to him.

I get to keep the original PNR, she get a new one, as for names, I'm A, she is D. Whenever we get gate upgrades, she is always before me on the list. I have nothing against it, but I cant for the life of me figure this one out. I've inquired on it, and the typical response is the alphabetical name which doesn't make sense.

For me, it was less the chivalry aspect and more that I fly in J/F constantly. As a result, sitting in the back (with a snack and drink, no less) and letting my SO have the F seat made sense to me.

T-12 still no UG. MIA-SFO on 767 with 30 seats I would expect to score an UG. 3 seats left for sale according to AA.com from 0 earlier this week. Where did these people go?

Paid J is fickle. Plus a lot of morning connections from South American can be rerouted for various reasons. I think the morning 767 is a difficult upgrade.

I can do you one better. 2499 tomorrow DFW-LAX. F7(8 seats showing available) and EXP purchased 3+ months ago did not clear at 24 hours out.
Now I'm not worried that it won't clear, but F7? Come on.

I'm on 2419, and had the same happen to me. Suddenly the u/g cleared yesterday morning, despite it being F7 since the EXP window opened up.

When my wife and kid is flying with me and I use a SWU for them, would their upgrade clear at the same time as mine even when they don't have status?
