Good thing I snatched one before they started blocking. Base on how CI release upgrades to their elites I can foresee no seats will be available on these routes even close to departure.
May i ask what your meaning is about CI elites? Do you mean it is harder or easier?
We secured 2 upgrades into J for the 23rd of January 2025 from TPE to AMS. I did put the 3rd person on waitlist for upgrade ,expecting it would take many months but they did offer another upgrade soon after. Had to turn it down as we did not have enough points until the end of this month. So we will try again then.
