Failed 3/19 IAD-SFO

It sucks being a lowly 1K when flying IAD-SFO on a Friday 6:00PM flight! Asked at the RCC where I stood on the list, and was told "I can't even see you. The computer started cutting the list off at number 9 today. You are somewhere between #10 and #27."

On the other hand, I had 17A on the 777 so it was still quite a comfortable trip.

On the other hand, here I sit with a 2-1K-pax PNR ORD-OGG on UA3 for 3/21 -- V fare, purchased Sept. 29, 2009, requested upgrade with miles ... and we still haven't cleared! (yes, I forgot to book us on separate PNRs )

I'm told there SHOULDN'T be any UDUs until after we are accommodated, but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm also told by the phone agent that the first cabin is 90% full. Sigh. Will report after we get to OGG.

Update: Well the system worked as intended. No one got UDU, but we did get the only 2 upgrades...at the last minute at the gate. I hate this nail-biting -- but I did win the Half-Way to Hawaii contest! ;-)

I hereby report the first FAIL. Not so much the failure to actually be upgraded, but the failure to even make the request.

Elite Status - 1K
Tuesday 3/23, 10:30 p.m.
UA 335 LAX-MCO
L Fare Class
Aircraft - A319
When Cleared - Try when requested. I logged on to check whether my UG had gone through and didn't see an upgrade or a waitlist. I called the 1K desk to see what was going on. The nice HNL agent and I were shocked to find out that an upgrade had not been requested at the 100 hour window. She immediately requested, but I was waitlisted on LAX-MCO. She did confirm me in F on my connecting flight to IAD the next morning.



^^ To the ever sweet HNL agents.

Sort by aircraft type

Just a thought - it might be interesting to graph the number of upgrades per type of aircraft.

IADLayover, very elegant way of summarizing, but I have no idea what H-H and H-N refer to?

There should be a special thread/club for 3Ps who score a UDU upgrade. Here's hoping I can swing it.

first let's see if it is done at all -- 3Ps are explicitly excluded, so if done it will be a goodwill gesture.
