2) How does proactively changing a flight work in this case- can you move to a diff Polaris flight or do you just get put in Y if you want to switch but get the 30K + $600 back?
3) If I want to simplty switch my LAX-SFO flight to get to my SFO earlier ahead of my SFO-AKL flight will that be allowed and have no effect on being in Polaris w/ my 30K +$600 buy up for the SFO-AKL flight?
Thanks
30K + $600 isn’t actually a buyup but rather a regular mileage plus upgrade. So for that you may want to check out the following thread:
1) Yes, you will get the miles and copay back since it isn’t a buyup.
2) If you change your flights, the PZ bucket needs to have availability. Otherwise, you’ll be back in economy.
3) You can change flights, but if the PZ bucket does not have availability you’ll be back in economy. You might want to call and see if an agent can just change the first segment.
