Never been to NZ never flown out of NZ so unsure of the upgrade patterns. J8 almost a month out does not look fun but curious for any insights on upgrade odds? Thanks!
I guess that it will be 50-50 since UA is not confident to sell all remaining seats (see P3) at T-24 days. The chance would be smaller if it were an outbound flight.
Good luck.
