Either way, still hoping the upgrade clears, also, please pardon my ignorance but the numbers you posted for my flights from expert flyer, how do I go about interpreting these numbers. Is there a chart or a FAQ that I can use. That would be great!
I have had pretty much 100% success rate upgrading from PEY to J on the YYZ route even with pretty tight revenue loads. (e.g. J3 C3 D2 I0) However, I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times that the waitlist actually clears.The majority of time you won't get the upgrade until within the last 2 to 3 days before the flight. And one time I had to wait until the airport and request the upgrades during check-in.
