Flying out sunday night on 158. Looks like it has both PY and J
I am not sure if acceptance of your bid or whether LMU will be offered is necessarily tied to availability. I have one interesting experience a few weeks ago and I emphasize that this is a sample of one only.
Flight distance is about 2 hours on an A320.
I submitted a bid at minimum plus $10.
At T-50h, my bid status was still pending, EF was showing J5 P4 Y9.
At T-36h, I received the e-mail advising my bid was rejected. EF still showing J5 P4 but Y8.
I surmised that no bid was accepted since there was no change to availability.
At T-24h, check-in opened. EF still showing J5 P4 Y8. No LMU was offered for purchase.
At T-12h, EF still showing J5 P4 but Y4. Again, no LMU was offered and I checked in. Upgrade waitlist consisted of 6 passengers. No green tick.
At T-3h, I arrived at the airport to print the luggage tag and checked LMU upgrade at the kiosk. None was offered. I did not check EF.
Flight departed full in both Y and J.
Unless EF is incorrect, I was surprised that my bid was rejected and no LMU was offered with J5 P4 up to T-12h when I last checked.
One no. that I wouldn't know was the actual no. of bidders.
