Im assuming others have tried this and Im SOL but wanted to check.
Does the flight you want have upgrade availability now? If so, it’s worth a try, some have been able to get them applied to post expiry travel (though more often successful if it’s just a few weeks after expiry). Planning to try to change things up later somehow seems less likely to work.
