I will post op-up experience if it happens (hope so - for more than 2 year I only turn right on boarding for short haul, now it's time to spend some miles).
Again, thanks a million.
You're welcome, and we're always happy to help here.
As for the Gold guarantee, best of luck, I've tried to use it in the past but it prices out ridiculously high as its full-fare Y (so often even higher than the Flex Plus price shown on the website, as already mentioned), in my case it was going to cost as much for return Y using the guarantee as one-way J and back Y both in Flex on a regular day. BUT you will literally be at the top of the list for op-ups so hopefully that'd work out!
(
eternaltransit shared this nugget of wisdom with us recently, that within Flex Plus its further ranked by status and then fare bucket)
