Is it still the case with NH that if it doesn't clear by T-24 then it never will?
Checking in w/ AC has no relevance to ANA upgrade. ANA will depart w/ empty C seats and unfulfilled upgrade requests at T-24. NH is reluctant to let upgrades be expected. Complicating the upgrades are higher passenger loads. I’m currently on NH183 HNL-NRT and business is sold out. First time I’ve seen this since pandemic.
