How do you calculate your upgrade percentage?

supermodels, not so much.
(think I'm going to call it 2/2, just because I cleared into 1A at the gate.

Your post informed me that I made a few big mistakes in my CPU calculations. I correctly excluded non-CPU routes but forgot to exclude flights in F (instrument-supported and/or paid). And I completely forgot about award flights since they don't show up on MP statements!
Edit: And you have to exclude single cabin flights too. Just recalculated my 2017 stats (13% seemed a little low) and they are now in line with previous years': 17%.
Obviously these stats are just for fun but I wonder if they're even worth calculating. For example, you're more likely to use miles if you're upgrade wouldn't have clear so that skews the data. And they don't take into account your status (if that changed) or date or time or season or equipment etc.
