8:30am the following morning EVA London phoned to confirm the upgrade.
I don't think this proves much (I'm Diamond now). But I can't fault them (except I was washing my hair when they called).
See - it works!
Now that I've said that, for the first time I'm having an issue getting an upgrade cleared. The flight is wide open in PL too. The agent was surprised that it didn't clear when their office in TPE opened and sent a message to TPE for me.
