Dumb question but how do you get on an upgrade list for a flight? Is it automatic? Based on status or something?

Must send the airline a handwritten request by certified mail

So with American and the rest of the big 3 US airlines you need status to even be able to be upgraded. For American you use something called 500 mile upgrade certificates at most levels

With Delta, you can set your account to automatically request upgrades so nothing to do after that one time step

likehelpful

Once you hit gold with American you can request upgrades from the mobile app after you book your ticket

On Delta, once you haves Skymiles account, you can request upgrades (comfort+ and/first class) at the time of booking (or after) and they’re issued based on status. Pecking order details based on ticketed purchased, status, etc

Depends on status and airline. What airline are you flying and do you have status?

American and no

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
