Probably the best “investment” I’ve done, as I was further op-up at checkin counter to J. I can’t think of a better start as OWS.

Some interesting observations: I saw the inventory of PEY dropping each day closer to the flight, but some seats are open for selection. I checked again this morning and there was no availability on J and PEY.

Just to add: I saw around 20 boarding passes printed on the table. Basically everyone in the business class queue (Silver/OWS or above) is either already on business class, or got a red light when scanning the boarding pass. A group of two queuing in front of me got upgraded from Y to PEY and took my original seat.
