R - always atleast 1 , or not
Been monitoring a Rouge flight, 319 with 12 j seats for past 5 weeks. Been JZDP 9 and R0 the entire time.
Flight is now 4 days out.
Do some flights never have R even if no seats are sold in J cabin?
Had a Lat pass booked for this but changed it to flex a week ago since I figured the e-up would open.

Anyone want to reconfirm the Lat Fare International still confirms based on P fares? Just asking because about to book a few flights but the AC.com site is showing "waitlist" for people trying to book Lat and upgrade.
I'm sure it's fine but if the rules have changes - that's a serious complication . . B up to P is quite good - the airline gets good yield - and the availability is ok but not great - - but this is a good process overall.

This has been an ongoing issue for a few years now. You might have to call in and find an agent who won't argue with you that all eUpgrade upgrades must be based on R (because many cc agents still believe this, and they have no idea where to look or what to look for on acpedia)

Just looking online on the eupgrade tool right now - seems to be showing P availability but waitlist only for upgrade. This is crazy and I am about to book a few tickets. If I can't book "B" and upgrade there's no point in paying the higher price. Will try the SE desk and see if I get success later today.

Just a follow up -- Called in and was fixed by help desk both times. What's amazing is how you still have to educate the agents. I can't imagine this is so unusual that after 4-5 years the agents don't know about it.
