Upgrading to Narita
Who can interpret these codes from ITN:
J9 D0 Z0 Y9 H9 K9 B9 V9 Q0 T0
I'm waitlisted for BF; I don't know what these categories all are. Which of you old timers can help me out?

The only thing that counts is "Z" class. In order to get upgraded , there must be something other than a "0" here. The current situation is that there are at least 9 BF seats avaialble for sale, but none for upgrade. As yield management tells them that there will be few buyers as they get close to flight time, they will release them for upgrade.

Actually, internationa upgrades are "R" class, whic can't be seen from ITN. I beleive that seats are tranferred from Z to R as a "last resort" from yeild managment.
