How will expert mode help? Are you saying if the "plus point u[upgrade" option during booking is saying waitlist/unavailable, there is still a way to get upgrades by looking at expert option?
It tells you the rest of the inventory, not only yes/no for pz (upgrade space). If you see j5c0, flatly no chance. If you see pn9pz0, might get it. Then if you are picking which flight to book, and one shows the first case and the other the second, which do you pick?
