Can someone confirm the window and amount of open seats needed to push upgrades through? I have been GS for 12 years now and I was shocked that I didn't know this..... Then I realized the reason I didn't know this is because I maybe only had to do this once or twice in my entire GS experience before 2023. I know its 4 seats have to be open at 72 hours.... but what about within 48 and 24 hours? I had to push mine through yesterday and my fiance's through today.... we are both GS with PP on the domestic flight.
Now the situation is:
- I'm using plus points on almost all of my Y flights domestically unless its a notoriously easy upgrade route.
- Upgrades with PP aren't even clearing within my CPU window... used to be on the dot at 5 days out without an upgrade instrument applied.
- I didn't even know you could push domestic upgrades through as never had to worry about CPU's
Sorry, but they really need to enhance this crap for GS at least. They need to relax on PN inventory in my opinion. The ability to use upgrades when I fly on personal travel is the biggest perk, in my opinion. Now they just want the $250 of revenue for a silver to pay and upgrade. oh well.
