So a flight that departs within a week would not be eligible for the 24 hours cancellation policy.
What is the actual policy does a flight that departs within a week (is there a specific flyertalk term?) fall under? ....
That wording has been there for the past 5 years and since then multiple folks have posted they have canceled and refunded tickets booked on same day of travel with no issue. Aware of only 1 poster (in 5 years) to have an issue and there were other complicating factors that were likely the real cause. So scan back in this thread to hear actual experiences.
As for immediate upgrade, looking for PZ space should giving you an idea of that.
If it is CPU you are hoping for, immediate upgrade is unlikely
What is P, PN and PZ for the flight.
What does the upgrade list look like?
