As of this morning (T-30), there are two BF seats (J2 JN2) only. There was ZN2 yesterday but that's gone now. I'll keep watching until OLCI to see if anything moves to PN.

My question is whether I should buy the upgrades (will they be offered at OLCI)? Can I then get my GPUs applied and the cash refunded? The GPUs expire in January so I want to use them now rather than cash.

Any other tips to try to get those last two seats before T-24?

Thanks.
