Upgrade on US Airways
I am planning to buy some US space available upgrades for transatlantic, that are valid with any ticket.
Two questions:
1) How high are chances to get upgraded from eco into business in may? EUrope-US and back
2) Are they available for award tickets?
Thanks for yoru advice.

so first ... they aren't available for award tickets ... you can book an award tiket with more miles for Enboy (may be 80,000 miles!?) ... may ...
The chance to get an upgrade depends
1. Status First CPs, then Gold, then Silver and Basic
2. Time of Check-In
3. Have luck that Envoy isn't full
To calculate your chances ... hm ... difficult ... it's easier to get an upgrade in autumn (October, November) ...

Upgrade Success
Two of us Flyertalk folks have been developing a website that will contain a database of upgrade success on the major airlines (including US Air), with a variety of inputs, including elite status, fare class, date, time, upgrade method and timing, etc.
We hope to have it launched within the next week. When it is up and running, we'd be very appreciative of your suggestions to improve the site. Of course, the website will only be as good as the amount of upgrade info submitted from you. We hope to make retreiving and submitting upgrade success (or lack of) an easy and quick process.
