Route: SFO-NRT-SIN
Date: 11/7/2014
Fare Class: W
From/To: Y-> C
Booked: ~2 months before departure
Cleared: SFO-NRT 1 hour before flight, no go on NRT-SIN
SIN-NRT-SFO
Date: 11/14/2014
Fare Class: W
From/To: Y-> C
Booked: ~ 2 months before departure
Cleared: NRT-SFO 1 hour before flight, and I was the only one to clear an upgrade, only 1 seat was left by that time. Not cleared on SIN-NRT leg.
note: GPU was applied by a GS friend, so I was #1 in the queue. SIN-NRT had the most GS's I've seen in line waiting to board. I counted about 25 in line.
