Methodology
Every figure is derived from real upgrade eligibility checks processed by Upgrade Agent, powered by Plusgrade. We record only the anonymized bid range (carrier, route, cabin, and the minimum / suggested / maximum amounts) — never a passenger name, booking reference, or any booking-identifying data. Figures are observed ranges, not guarantees; the definitive range for any trip comes from checking that specific booking. Sample counts are shown so you can weigh how established each figure is.
