Have other flyers here experienced this before? That is, awards upgrades being made available again closer to the date of travel? I have looked on this forum a little bit and can't seem to find examples of this happening (maybe i'm not using the search function optimally).
I think the flight I was wishing to upgrade is overbooked in Y, so with regards to the principle that awards would be made available on a quota basis, how likely would it be that more upgrades would be made available closer to departure date (18-dec)?
I'm genuinely curious about the strategy aspect here
