After three failed tries, my SFO–LHR upgrade finally cleared last week and honestly it felt like winning the lottery. I applied PlusPoints about two months out and stayed waitlisted until the night before the flight. Got the email upgrade around midnight and went straight into celebration mode.
The Polaris seat was solid super comfortable bedding and the cabin was nice and quiet. Service was a bit hit or miss, but I was just happy to stretch out and actually sleep. If you’re trying to clear out of SFO, booking Premium Plus first definitely seems to help your odds.
