Is this really true? I know we're all upset up HoKeY, but if you decide to buy a HKY fare, or a lower fare and pay the upgrade surcharge, are they really that difficult to get? Considering the number of people that are firm about not playing the new game, it would seem that BF upgrades would actually be easier to get these days. </font>
Actually, its my personal, non scientific perception that R class (is that right - Z class maybe? The allpass int'l upgrade class) has become more scarce, at least at my way-out-times-of-booking my paid ticket. I do have to say, R class has cleared for me in just about every case where I was waiting for it. But it has been held until maybe 3-7 days prior to departure, every time.
To me, that's a huge change, because while I mostly do end up getting BF when I play HoKeY, I am not assured of my upgrade until very close to departure. That's much less fulfilling for me - I'd like to know my options at time of purchase.
