3. Is it possible to be upgraded via CPU before the RPU clears or will the RPU always process first?
4. If the RPU fails to clear by T-24, how do I get back on the upgrade list?
Thanks.
p.s. I just signed up for an ExpertFlyer trail membership to watch the fare class and it seems pretty cool so far
1. Both, RN is an expanded inventory for elites, but it is very rare to see more RN than R.
2. It is automatic, but not instantaneous. It will clear a couple to several hours after R becomes available.
3. RPU will clear first.
4. You will still be on the upgrade waitlist with RPU priority. It is just that it will be transferred from the EUA/UDU waitlist to the airport upgrade list.
