#1 on the list, probably ruined by having a leg on aer lingus coming here, bah, hate that they can't work that checkin better with "partner"
Also 8C opened up on the phone and then dissaperred, while I stay as #1, hmmm....good thing I have no one in my row and I could use the GPU in a better spot than LHR-IAD. Hope I get a complimentary wine

Fwiw, next time ask the agent to withdraw and redeposit the GPU, then go online and reapply it. You'll clear immediately into the open R space.

IAD-MUC, Nov 16
Wife was at the top of upgrade standby list when the door closed. Someone who was a few spots below in the upgrade standby list got upgraded at T-3h. Should my wife complain to 1K Voice?

This is the best method I've found when R space exists and GPU doesn't automatically clear. I have to wonder if the agent knows what I am doing but never had one say anything. *shrug*

Y -> C
GPU applied at booking - 3 weeks out
It was Z9 at that time so I bought up to W (S was available)
J7 at 24 hours so I had my fingers crossed.
Ended up #11.
I'm thinking at least a few of those were TOD. I had a problem and couldn't check in until the airport (at another European airport with LH). Never even got to see a buy-up offer.
Got charged for a mixed-drink.

SFO-HND
Booked in March 2016
W class
Travel date Friday 10 June
Did not clear at booking, didn't clear on the day of flight. I was first on waitlist. Business was booked full according to the agent.
Incredibly disappointing and not sure why I keep paying a premium for W fares and working to get 1K when the GPUs don't clear.
