My EWR-KEF (tomorrow) cleared a few days ago. Given it was a 752, even with it being shoulder season and a non-business route on a weekday, I wasn't expecting it to clear.
OTOH, the domestic segment (IAD-EWR) is still waitlisted. If it fails to clear, I will be 0-fer on domestic segments this year supported by instruments.

Indeed it's perhaps more of a lottery than just finding open R on its own. But if you're booked on a flight and get the text message, it may be a very good time to consider your RPU balance.

With the 78Js joining the fleet at EWR next spring there might be some 764s showing up on TCON premium routes.

Really upset, my Flight from TLV got canceled, now they Re-routed me VIA SFO, Still got Polaris, not complaining. But, I don't get the PQM's I was supposed to receive or even fly the 767-400 1L Seat... From EWR-SFO... Still grateful.
