Will the RU be assessed as Elite and therefore clear automatically? Or will it only be assessed as a Gold RU? R class is available - have had confirmation from the call centre. The flights are just to Fiji so figured the chances of a successful RU are high but perhaps it's not worth the marital angst if the RU doesn't clear...

Thanks in advance.

Why not book yourself in Y and apply the RU as that will process at time of lodgement?

When linked and same flight think it will be evaluated as Elite but not sure if that is at t-7 or extends to the t-355 option.

At the moment why would you assume chances are high of an RU clearer on a leisure route when people will pay own money and use their RUs.
