Day before was PN8, then in the evening PN0, this morning an hour prior to upgrade it was PN4PZ0 and still that minutes after the upgrade.
Question: does award upgrade success go here too since it comes out of the same bucket? or is there another thread?
My return flight on 1/29 still had not cleared. Eventhough I was #4 on the list and there were 38 open seats I preferred to have piece of mind. PZ=1 opened on the 1/30. CS said this was wrong and there was no space. I went ahead and tried rebooking the whole itinerary since PZ=1 was available on the outbound too as a test and it worked. So updated.

I've been doing this route alot in the past because I'd routinely get upgraded a month out. I hope this isnt a new pattern.
