@mconnor @gavinsharp @zpao yeah, you'll probably never get an upgrade on United. I would pick based on good routes to where you travel most.

@mleibovic @mconnor @gavinsharp @zpao I just made Platinum on United. Two upgrades and a few drink coupons!

@mfinkle just hope there aren't 30 people ahead of you on the upgrade list!

@mleibovic @mfinkle I primarily fly Delta as a gold and bat around 0.5 for complimentary domestic upgrades.

@khuey_ but where do you fly from SFO? Atlanta and JFK, not many other options! Especially when they stop the Narita flight

@gavinsharp yeah stopping the NRT flight is a big loss. I can fly the CI flight directly but it doesn't earn many miles. Thinking about

@gavinsharp what to do, especially now that United flies non-stop to CDG and TPE

@khuey_ @gavinsharp And the 767 hardware they use for SFO-CDG is among the nicer United economy configs. (Yes, @khuey_ should switch.)
