Amex couldn’t price it with the correct fare after the upgrade has cleared. The platinum travel desk agent eventually figured it out with the help of JL.

Thanks JalPak. Very helpful. I also appreciate your experience with changes.

Is there a limited inventory on the upgrades or can one book as long as there are F seats available?
If limited, do they release more closer to departure?

Thanks in advance for your information.
