First time poster with a question about the SAS Upgrade process.
I know they switched alliance from Sept 1 which is good for me because I have gold medallion with Delta and need to fly to CPH. Does anyone know if Delta status has a bearing on whether upgrade bids are accepted? Is it still too early in the switch from their old alliance, or do they only consider their EuroBonus status? Maybe it's just down to $.

I'm going to CPH on Sept28 and my company pays for us to travel transatlantic in Premium Economy but it's an overnight flight and the seat availability is already bad - I'm going to be in the middle of a block of 4. The current minimum bid to get into business is $340 which it calls a weak bid. The medium bid starts at $408 and strong starts at $578. I recently paid $500 to upgrade to Upper Class on Virgin from BOS-LHR so a bid in the medium band would be as good or slightly better deal, but I wonder how likely it would be to be successful. Would my Delta status have any bearing?

The minimum bid hasn't changed since I booked it a week ago, so I think I'm close enough to departure that it's not going to fluctuate until close to check in when it will probably shoot up, so I'm thinking I should put my bid in this weekend.
