Reader Coloradomom asked the following question in the "Ask Lucky" forum:"I recently made AA EXP status and now have systemwide upgrades to use. I'd like to book an economy ticket to London for the middle of November and wondered which gateway would offer the best chance of an upgrade clearing. The AA system shows that confirmed upgrades are not available on any of the flights I researched,but I could waitlist for my chosen flight. I know DFW is difficult for systemwide upgrades because of all the EXP's flying out of there. How approximately CLT or PHL? AA flies the 333 to LHR from both of those airports and that would be a kind upgrade. I live close to ORD, but am not certain what kind of business product runs out of ORD to LHR. Any advice you, or Ben,or your readers can give this current EXP would be greatly appreciated!"One of my favorite perks of being an Executive Platinum member are the eight systemwide upgrades you receive for achieving the status each year (and if you over-qualify, you may receive even more). They can be used to upgrade any revenue ticket by one lesson of service, and pending upgrade space.
Up until now I've yet to ever miss an international upgrade,though it looks like my luck might soon change.
