Passengers in lower premier classes can definitely trump passengers in higher premier classes, based on their fare bucket or, perhaps, whether they were using an upgrade instrument.

And, you keep saying things as if we're disagreeing with them, when we're not. No one has said that the online list is not the gate list, or that you shouldn't ignore it.

iahphx, you keep ignoring the very clear text that WineCountryUA put in bold for you.

I most certainly am NOT ignoring what WineCountryUA is saying. He is referencing language in the "5-day-list." I am not talking about that list. I am talking about the Airport Upgrade Standby List (aka the "public list").

Just to make it easy, here is the key quote from WineCountryUA's post: "At 24 hours from departure, waitlists will expire and automatic processing of upgrades, per the priority listed above, will continue."

And just in case that is still not clear to you, what it says is that there is such a thing as the gate list, and that list shall have the same priority as the EUA list (what you call the "5-day list").

Again, you can argue until you're blue in the face, but the website most certainly does not state that and, as I and others have reported, it is very possible to be upgraded on the 5-day-list ahead of people of the 24-hour list, based either on random computer glitches (possible) or a different ordering of upgrade priorities.

It can vary slightly, by a few spots, since the CPU list uses time of ticketing as the tie breaker while the airport list uses time of check in. So if there are 4 1Ks on W fare where A bought first and D bought last. But D checks in first followed by C, A, B... Then the airport list will show D C A B. however, the system uses the CPU list until one hour before departure.

So if the upgrade runs at 4 hours out clearing two customers for two remaining F seats then A and B will jump over C and D even though C and D is showing up as #1 and 2 on the list. But, if the upgrade does not run until the gate agent runs the upgrade 30 minutes before the flight then D and C will get the upgrade.

But aside from the tie breaker, priority is exactly the same.
