Award availability for PEs
Today I wanted to book an upgrade for my BKK-AMS flight next friday and I got some interesting info regarding award availability that I wanted to share with you. The lady told me there was no award availability but that there were 10 empty seats. These seats were only for paying biz class passengers, she said. So I asked her if it makes any difference whether I'm PE or GE or SE or BP and she told me that since I'm PE she could also offer me seats from the "Z" bucket (which is empty for this flight). Normally D inventory is for award upgrades. This was new for me as I always thought that some C and J seats could also be "sold" to PEs for awards. I was quite disappointed about this.
