Even it is not cleared at T-24 h, it’s priority is still higher than other 1Ks with PPs. Within 24 h, all GSs on lower fares will jump ahead of 1Ks with YBM fares, however.
What I meant is the priority of GS applying PlusPoints vs GS/1K Instant Upgrades. PN is indeed always ahead of PZ but both of these scenarios clear into PN. 60% is my confidence level not per actual observation lol.
