I realize there are other long threads somewhere on this but could you please summarize the issue here (ie you mention the handing over of inventory)? I am wondering what I am doing wrong as seem to be missing a lot of upgrades recently on T+ fares with a lot of J seats available. If there are no R seats available at T-7days, any advice to make sure I am near the front of the que for at the gate upgrades? Are upgrades sometimes done during OLCI (other than LMU)?
