Are my chances better with PP upgrade instead of *A? How many PP is needed from J to F? I have >300 points! I guess there’s no point to cancel my upg now from *A and switch to PP?

Thanks for your insight,

It is exactly 100% the same. Miles and +Ps make no difference. You can cancel the UG request and re-request it using +Ps. You'll get your miles back and you spend your +Ps. Your choice. NH109 is F0 so your chances are not looking so good; changing to NH159, however, should be near certain upgrade. NH160 11/5 looks pretty good with F6A6.

All partner UGs cost 40 +Ps per flight.
