When I select benefits and have my new 35 Eups with extended expiry, I should be able to apply them to that flight and be wait-listed.
Now when I no longer have status at time of travel, will that upgrade request stay valid?
If it does, according to upgrade priority, I will have zero status and therefore zero priority vs status members, but being in PY puts me ahead of everyone in Y so there's a chance...
Is my interpretation valid here?
Edit: Just saw that someone with zero status are only allowed to upgrade PY Flex and Latitude fares. However in my case I am requesting upgrade while I still have status.
Have not seen anyone answer my question...
I selected my benefits and now have 35 eUPs that are applicable to my March HND-YYZ PY booking.
I am able to request and waitlist my upgrade - But, since I will have ZERO status in March, will the request stay on my reservation when I lose status and also stay all the way to the gate? (no clearance window for me then)
If upgrade request does stay, with zero status, would definitely be low priority but being a PY lowest award, still ahead of everyone trying to upgrade from Y. So not impossible.
