I have a lot of unused credits because I usually fly paid J. As such, I don't mind using eUpgrades if it means I can help my chances. I'm booked in H (T+).

I just spoke to another AC agent, and it looks like AC016 is oversold on Aug 5 as well. She advised calling in at 72 hours to see if "there's anything that can be done". Not quite sure if she was hinting that they may be willing to be more flexible in terms of switching to either AC008 on 8/4 or AC016 on 8/5 at that time given the overbooking situation, but I'll certainly give it a shot.
