Yes I am an Elite.

Apparently Elite can upgrade with an H2 ticket but not any of the other H class. This is what the agent told me after she checked with a lead agent. Apparently it all has to do with the CIC number on the coupon -in my case CIC*47/133. Unfortunately as I stated, there aren't any H2 seats allocated for these flights.

There also aren't any C class available for the same period as well. This despite the fact that they are running the 2 flights daily again (747 and 340). In addition CX has their one way upgrade to F from J promotion running. You would think AC might be a little more motivated to fill those seats.

I am sort of resigned to the fact that I am going to have to buy a Y class ticket if I want to have a chance at J. I looked at the loads and they aren't bad because they have the two flights running again during those dates.

Does any one know of a consolidator who has inventory of Y seats? All the ones I spoke to only offered me Q or V!

I will carefully consider the offer of those SE who offered to come along with me and help with the upgrade!
