NY = Doesn't exist. No such benefit at CO. Platinum Elites get expanded BusinessFirst Award inventory allegedly. I have never taken advantage of this.
The only way that I know of to see R inventory is to check " onepass reward upgrade" box.
If you are a Platinum Elite, buying an M fare and hoping for an up, this comes from Z
If you are a regular Elite (Gold or Silver) hoping for an up, this also comes from Z
There are multiple Z buckets for the instant-ups depending on which fare you have.
