- haven't tried it with ITA yet - but most of their policies seem to have transferred from the old Alitalia.
upgrade bid success is communicated around 12 hours prior to departure.
Flight is in 4 days & there are still 23 seats left in business class. There is a good chance the cabin will be fairly empty come flying day.
I remember reading somewhere that bids can be approved (or rejected) as far out as 72 hours before the flight. Wish they would inform sooner rather than later. If the bid is rejected then I would purchase the front row seat in premium economy. Don't want to do that now since if the bid is accepted then I would not get a refund on the front row seat payment.
