That's true, however that relies heavily I guess on a daily basis of if there are any availabilities at that late moment. I'd personally like to check every early option if possible.
Also whatever I do I can not in any way make optiontown comprehend the SITA/SABRE Air India PNR. It rejects it in every form. I got a 6 digit number after going manually through check my trip, but neither this PNR works. It feels truly bizarre to offer OT services and then use a system totally disconnected from this and of no help.

Yep, sure did! And coincidentally, ironically I thought booking through they're website would make more sense in the aspect of looking for a later upgrade
And as mentioned, calling AI customer service is of no help. They only refer to this 5 digit one.
