Oh Okay I see what your saying, thank you Just use that as an availability tool, then go back and book the flights that you knew were upgradeable, then change the seats to process the applicable SWU avail flight. Will I automatically be on an BF standby list for the flights that didn't clear? When would that happen? How about domestic flights that weren't avail for an SWU at time of booking..will I get on a upgrade standby list, the regular EUA process, or whatever comes first?
