Its a lot harder to get upgraded nowadays. I have American Platinum and I can only upgrade 1 out of 7 tries. Most carriers have reduced flights, are fielding smaller aircraft, and are flying at 90% load factors. Even my executive platinum coworkers find it tough to get upgraded. Frankly I'd...

In the burbs west of Boston, Framingham specifically. I have 250k+ Delta skymiles. Its getting really tough to get a seat on a domestic flight nowadays since most of them are overbooked. Every flight I've been on is packed to the brim. In order to get a seat you gotta use 50k per roundtrip...
