I have searched thread for GPU options so have some good background. I know it is a guessing game but curious if anyone has any experience on this route in Feb? I am old Gold/Plat but new 1K so haven't played the GPU lottery much.
My partner and I will be flying on saver biz award tickets to DEL via MUC on LH 4 Feb but return award flights not good. Attending wedding so dates not too flexible. Nonstop saver biz looks non-existent from what I can tell. However, the one way flights from DEL to EWR on Feb 15 look very reasonable. Right now W is around $840 one way. It seems like it might be a worthwhile gamble to purchase W and hope GPU clears for us. There isn't an availability now (see below) but it doesn't look like a popular or elite heavy route.

Question: Anyone have any historical or background if there is a chance the GPUs would clear if we fly W (V is about $150 more so not sure if worth the fare class hedge) and when they tend to clear (x days out, battlefield, etc.)? Any suggestions or advice on other options that might be good? TIA. Really appreciate the expertise.
