Do Latitude flight pass upgrades still open @ midnight ET or exactly 48 hours?
I haven't used Latitude flight passes in a few years, and back then the upgrade window opened at midnight ET two days before the flight (e.g., a 9:00am ET flight on Friday opened at midnight Wednesday morning). Is that still the case, or have they switched to exactly 48 hours before the flight?

Thanks!

Latitude FP complimentary upgrades may be requested when your flight departs today, tomorrow, or the next day.

Based on which time zone? Origin of the flight? Eastern time? GMT?

For whatever reason, I think it's the origin of the flight, but I can give you an answer within the next 15 hours. I have a flight booked on Saturday. I'll try it starting at midnight UTC.

Ugh.

I was invited out for a birthday or my quitting-announcement or something.

I didn't check in time.

I can upgrade Saturday 0800 PST at Thursday 0030 PST for sure.

I'll try to get more information tomorrow when my return starts to get close.

It's now midnight UTC on Friday, and I cannot upgrade my Sunday flight.

I'll check again at midnight EST.
