YYZ-AUH [C$825-C$1545]
AUH-KHI [C$155-C$310]
Not worth it, the RT Y fare was $1600 vs a RT J fare of $3300 so this ends up being poorer value than just paying for J to begin with

LHR-AUH £460-860
AUH-BOM £95-190
BOM-AUH £95-190
AUH-LOS £305-600
Not gonna bother with the shorter AUH-BOM sectors. I'm planning on bidding £500 on each of the longer LHR-AUH and AUH-LOS sectors and will post an update on the outcome...
Update: my £500 bid was accepted for the LHR-AUH sector. Fingers crossed For the AUH-LOS sector...

short update.
despite my flight takes off in 24 hours, not even a word from EY.
however, when i check My Booking on EY website it seems that i will be flying business AUH - BKK.
i can actualy ''see'' all my flights now, including codeshare with AB affected by the system glitch couple of days ago.there are now two legs from same flight AUH - BKK, one in economy, the other one in business.
i have emailed EY Helpcentre in Scandinavia, asking wheter my bid was accepted or this could be just a consequence of the sistem glitch, as i dont have a confirmation email + new ticket and my bid has still ''pending'' status.
they couldnt say too much, except i will be on business for AUH - BKK.and all should be taken care of at Abu Dhabi Airport(i.e.the ''business class'' thing)...while one of the reasons i place my bid, was access to Etihad Pearl Business Lounge in T3, it seems that i need to cut my short time in AUH(more or less 3 hours) to get issued a new boarding card, because i doubt folks here in CPH have the possibility to issue it, since the 2 first legs of my journey are operated by AirBerlin...and i will check in at AB counter...moreover, i travel 2-3 times a year to Asia with arabic carriers(Emirates and Qatar) and every time i passed the Transit Desk it looked more like a jungle with people shouting and rasing hands, no line...i hope AUH is different...
the gods must know better...

As for your BP, go straight to the lounge and get them to print you a new BP there.

Well, it's still possible, but it's likely your POUG has been processed but for whatever reason you haven't received the email. Checked your junk folder?
If Air Berlin can't give you your J BP (I see no reason why they wouldn't), the lounge will be able to do so.
