I had a glimmer of hope that once the April flights are loaded in a few weeks they might unblock some of those flights if demand is lower in Apr.
Today I look and see that all of the YYZ-ANU & return flights are showing as "Not allowed due to airline, aircraft or flight".
Its still Rouge as before , maybe the a/c will be changed from a 321 to 7M8 by then, but why all of a sudden this change?
Are they not allowing e-upgrades on Rouge routes now? Is it a placeholder & might change back? Anyone seen this? Very disappointing.
My last flight from ANU, I was seated next to a SE multiple-MM whose upgrade did not clear. As a frequent traveller to that destination he mentioned how difficult an eUp was on that route. That was preCovid, but given people's propensity for buying in the front I suspect it may be even more difficult now. YMMV, or course.
