Please confirm I can request an upgrade based on the applicable status, days or hours prior to departure? Prestige = 2 days/48 hrs so Flight July 3 YVR-HkG dep 1230pm means I can request an upgrade anytime on July 1 (12:05am hypothetically) or can I only request at July 1 1230pm?
If the above itinerary starts in YYC at 10am July 3 does that mean I have to wait until 1230pm July 1 to request my upgrade?
Last question what happens if I booked the above flights via lufthansa but all flights are AC operated?
Thank you and likely this has been posted elsewhere but I could not find the information.
You ill be only able to upgrade as a P 48 hours in advance of the scheduled departure time for each and every flight. So your YVR-HKG will be able to be upgraded on July 1st at 12:30pm PST and the same can be had seperately at 10:00am Central/Mountain time for your YYC-YVR.
I would suggest perhaps to wait until your YVR-HKG comes into to range as well before requesting the upgrade for YYC-YVR. Right now R9 showing as upgrade space on July 3rd but the flight in Y looks to be very oversold based on availability for AC#007 YVR-HKG...you might score an OPUP who knows though as there is no guarantees.....The YYC-YVR is only 1 hour and wouldn't kill you if you had to be in the back of bus so to speak and it's showing R2 space available currently and 5 seats in total for sale up front.
As long as each flight is AC Metal you will be able to upgrade as well. If you encounter any problems I would suggest to call Reservations as well if it fails online for any reason....they should be able to assist you as well.
