Do they open up the points upgrade availability at some point before departure even though it's now showing the X on the search tool?
I have also a bid in but I lowballed it so probably that one won't clear.
Oh and it's AY81 that we're talking about and it's showing J3 on EF.
Thanks already!
They might open more upgrade availability, but you can also contact CS and get on the waiting list. They will charge the points but give them back in case your upgrade doesn't clear.
There are several reports here that having AY status and/or calling CS periodically before departure may help it clear.
