The bright side of V class not opening up means that your flight might be overbooked and you will have a chance of an op-up.
Thanks! In fact, I have tried this before and it is the same situation. The V class didnt clear and I wasn't upgrade either though it is a full flight. In fact, I have not been upgraded for a long time. Only once when I first joined Marco Polo as Green Member in Y1999 on SIN-BKK.
