I know this will never happen, but it would be nice to see the onload list, or have the standby list show the priority for op up on oversells. Case in point, i’m on 353 today, it is in oversell. J cabin is showing 5 across the board, but only 3-14 as booked on the upgrade list and Y is 3 in a few higher classes and Economy shows as full on the app. My math would indicate they must be oversold by at least 6 in Y, if there are 11 unsold seats in the cabin, but AC is only willing to sell 5. My conundrum is whether to burn e-ups or hope for the op-up as a 50K on a Confort fare. I think my chances are decent, as the preferred cabin was pretty open before OLCI opened, but i’ll be bitter if I don’t make the cut, and wait too long to use e-ups.
Any sage advice from the group? I’ll try and sweet talk the CSA to see where I am on the op up list, but this is YOW, so I don’t have high hopes of this being successful. I’d have much better luck at YYC.
