EF was showing this flight 0’d out in all classes and not on sale via Air NZ roughly a week or so
out. Then went back on sale and showed 4+ biz seats. Was pending past online check in.
Stoked considering these are gold status match RU’s!
As a fellow Gold also looking for a Y->BP double RU, thanks for your report. I have watched availability decline down to C2 D0 a few days ago, and have been toying with just going for PE instead (good availability).
It is now 3 weeks out and a small jump up to C3 D2.
Seems a real pity that Y-BP upgrades are considered
manually and after PE-BP. All while on an expensive B economy fare (policy).
Nothing cleared (BP or PE) in both directions AKL-LAX back in Jun (double RUs both ways).
Did you consider seeking Y-PE earlier?
