Altitude status level
Booking class
Time of check-in
The official policy is actually that all PY clears first before moving on to Y.
Upgrades cleared at the airport
1. Cabin - that is to say, the below criteria prioritise PY over Y
2. Altitude status level
3. Fare class
4. Time of check-in
Here is the reference to the official policy from Ben
