BA106 6th July
Hello fellow FTers!
It's been awhile and while I have been dormant a lot of flying has taken place!
So as a consequence of flying with a mate in WTP I booked a WTP return instead of a CW return LHR-DXB-LHR and now I'm feeling silly as I could do with a bed on the red-eye BA106 back to LHR.
However there is no availability right now for a UuA.
A couple of thoughts:
1. Does BA open up reward availability in the t-48 hours Region or thereafter?
2. What's the load looking like?
3. On the basis of the above is it likely that I will see a seat open up or get op-upped (I hear Silvers get a lot of op-ups from WTP however I seldom fly WTP!)
Thanks in advance,
Foo

Looks wide open:
BA 106 0 DXB
15/07/06 1:45 LHR
15/07/06 6:10 744
Unavailable
60% / 20m F5 A5 J9 C9 D9 R9 I9 W9 E9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G9
So op-up unlikely but award space may open.

Two countries divided by a common language I fear! Never mind. For UK Point of Sale it's slightly different:

I'd give it a 50% chance of UuA becoming available tomorrow. So don't check in online, if you already have reasonable seats in WTP. There is also Airport Upgrade Promotion (see the main thread in the Dashboard) as an option for a cash upgrade.
