Couple of questions.
1. Can I opt to upgrade to Y+ if J doesn't clear, and if so how can I opt into that? (Havent decided if this is worthwhile given that apparently Y loading on that flight is quite light and Y+ is full)
2. Is there any way to apply the same upgrades to a return flight if they don't clear for the outbound or do I have to wait?
1. No easy way to do this. I had 2 failed attempts in June (no status), and I think that double upgrades mean you are behind all those going PE-J and are not automatically concurrently considered for only Y-PE. Friends advised mento let lounge and gate staff know I would be happy for PE if double upgrade to J failed. But that seemed a wholly manual process.
2. You have to wait for the lodged RU to be redeposited. 3-5 days in my case.
