Wiley upgrades; no telling when they'll show up!
On the ATL - BZE (Belize City) about 10 days ago and got my upgrade 6 days prior. On the flight there were 11 empty seats in first class (out of 16). I think even the flight attendants got some sleep (even with only 5 of us, no one ever offered to take my jacket).
Trip back BZE - ATL a week later and 1st class was full without a single (non-Y fare) complimentary upgrade available or awarded (ok, ok, "that I know of").
That's my only leg that I haven't been upgraded this year (7/8). Met two PMs in the boarding area who bought Y fares two days prior for $2000+ r/t :eek: each. (They definitely deserved the upgrade more than me.)
I was amazed at the difference a week made in the bookings and availability.
