Delighted to report that my bid for €290 from PE to J on FCO-GRU was accepted today, exactly on T-48 hours.

J cabin of 30 seats was less than half full so it seems common sense is being applied. It’s quite a lot fuller now - just 9 unassigned seats. PE also looks busier, the seat I had is taken along with a bunch of others so ppl also moving up from Y.

The plusgrade system is great. I wish BA used it!
