I got elite status on 2 of the mayors, but getting an upgrade in the past 8 months has not really been the best since every flight is packed. I guess the more comfy alternative would be jumpseating on one of the MIA-ANC flights?
Just to give you an idea:
MIA-ANC looks fairly steady but infrequent and taking a quick snapshot for the next two months as an example = Starting 05/17, 05/24, 05/31, 06/07, and so on every 7 days at 1505z there are departures to ANC from MIA. Out of the 10 flights there are two that do not have a spread of 7 days. 2 and 5 days spread are the anomalies and one of those leave at closer 2000z. Definitely an option as mentioned before, but I wouldn’t bank on it. Atlas is a synonym for change. Good period to rack up points as the man said; it will pay dividends later on.
