I'm silver medallion. It's that place where you fly enough to wish you got those
perks, but not enough to actually get them.

The one real perk of being silver is that you are Zone 1 for boarding, so you always get your carry on in place ahead of the masses in Zone 2. That's really it.

Oh, they do automatically put you on the upgrade list. I'm usually somewhere around 20th in line for an upgrade, so you can guess how that goes. Having said that, on my last trip I flew home from Baltimore on a Saturday morning. It stinks to have to travel for work on a Saturday, but somehow I actually did get upgraded to first class on that trip. I guess it was full of tourists, but no business travelers (they all flew home on Friday, I suppose). So it did happen--once. I don't expect to get upgraded ever again, but who knows?
