I've successfully upgraded my international flight three times this year and I'm heading to LAX soon and was going to upgrade it too. Being a longer flight, I'm really wanting to have it upgraded.
I was wondering if there are any tips in
- figuring out business class capacity a week before the flight to figure out if I should pay for an upgrade over points if it looks like it's a heavily booked out flight, (or even swap to another flight)
- or is flight upgrades via points a first come first serve after they consider the status level (I'm gold)
Any insights into how they do upgrades would be much appreciated!
