EWR-SFO
Feb 3, 2021
Fare class: was K (economy), but was allowed to switch for free to A (premium economy)
Y>J (then PE>J)
Was 20PP, now 10PP
Booked in January sometimes
Cleared shortly after T-24
I had no shot on my original flight 787-10 with 44 seats and 40 seat taken about 2 days out. Due to weather waiver, I was able to switch to a 772 with more capacity upfront. And I would be able to get to SF earlier as a bonus.
This is my 15th upgrade using PP in the last 13th months - all economy fare buckets like G or K; some I was able to 2 transcon flights (e.g. EWR to SFO and turn back within 4 hours) for only 20PP total.
