Thanks Bonehead. I appreciate the input from a Premier Platinum (according to your FTer profile). Yes, I have monitored the First Class upgrade lists on IAH-DEN Dreamliner, and also return, and have noticed very many persons on the lists.
That is what prompted me to begin this thread.
HOWEVER, as I noted in the beginning of this thread, I am asking SPECIFICALLY for the recent CPU experiences of 1Ks on the IAH-DEN Dreamliner, whom as you are aware would be given a CPU before Platinums.
I also am asking 1Ks with their experience with complimentary companion upgrades on this IAH-DEN leg.

So if a Platinum, Gold or Silver get a CPU on this you don't care? Seems narrow minded to me. If they are getting CPU's on this it would stand to reason a 1K would too. And might even give a clearer picture on ease or difficulty of CPU's on this flight.

In all my years on FT I've never been scolded for offering relevant information. OP is a piece of work.

Anyway, you advised me to buy a P fare, but did not give me any if your CPU experience. Did you have any CPUs on this route?

Yes, it would be great if Plats and Golds report a good success rate on CPUs. I have been watching these IAH to DEN flights and the Upgrade standby lists have been very full. I did not think it was likely that Plats & Golds would get many CPUs. But you are correct, Baze, that if Plats and Golds are getting them, then 1Ks would. I did not intend to offend anyone, so I apologize.

P fares on IAH-DEN are often availabe for about tne price of mid-level economy fares so IAH-DEN is a surprisingly tough ugrade.
I am 100% on tne route as a GS, but I am 100% on many routes, so tne first bit of information is likely more important.
