月初PVG-LAX，一个集拔都坐在了Polaris上喝了迎宾印，被发现升舱有问题，让自己去Economy坐，要不然报警。
With the launch of Instant Upgrade with miles, new requests using the mileage upgrade award chart will no longer be accepted starting August 12, 2025, at midnight CT.
仔细看了一下，$350 + 25k里程的经济升商务应该是没了。对于DFW的居民来说算是个噩耗了，转机的话127的时间非常合适而且去很多城市都有多趟航班+高铁，现在一张票180k的里程太贵了。

AA mile biz upgrade （c） 好像是不是全无了
去年给丈母娘升了个往返的dfw pvg的biz
今年在Instant Upgrade消息出来前好像就已经这样了，C要么没有availability要么是被隐藏看不到，只能排waitlist。8月后就彻底
我后来也看了一眼，普通经济升超经164.4k或者1664，商务直接升不了，可能是跟其他有些航司一样不能再越级升舱了？

最大的温暖不是跟随UA取消award upgrade chart了，一切动态化(不过泥潭大家都不坐aa好像影响也没有很大
了吧。
