I managed to upgrade via the PINS CS on FB Messenger. Very convenient for Finns - no need to call and actually talk

Surprisingly though, I am unable to select a seat (check-in just opened).

Woo, they are making matching hard. Asked back me to send again photo or mobile card with expiry date but finnair sends neither. Oh well.

Why wouldn't AY send you a plastic card? If you have a CC with AY+ info, why not send that to BT?

Might be risky to include CC info, and the match may be denied if something is blurred out on it.

I sent a photo of the Finnair mastercard with the CC number blurred and explained that it's valid 2 months after the expiration. No problem there. (Account profile as well)

Ok, got two of my flights voucher upgraded by email, took two days, they responded to each email within one day. Whatsapp would probably been quicker.

Both tickets were originally Basic, so the different T&C's were confirmed.

Availability was pretty ok, gave them 4 choices, 3 out of them had availability, only the MAN-RIX leg didn't. Giving them choices made the process a bit longer, a simple request would probably have been handled within 24 hours.

Any news whether Air Baltic currently has any status match offers? They have quite attractive prices to KIV and EVN, two destinations I plan to visit.

I status matched my wife to BT VIP (from AY Plat) about 2 weeks ago.

I booked two journeys on BT, one in May and one in June.

Would I be smarter to wait until April before I initiate the match? My June trip takes me to EVN (Yerevan), and I thought it would be nice to use the upgrades on those 4-hour flights. Availability might be better now than in April, of course, but if it's just a matter of moving the curtain, perhaps there will be availability in April as well. I have no idea how stingy they are with those upgrades.

Personal data point, no. I was VIP, matched, and now a nobody.

Sometimes it can be humbling to fly as a nobody, I will test this out on a FR flight in 2 weeks 🤷‍♂️😀

I got a soft landing to Executive last autumn. Think I took ca. 10 flights with BT during the qualification year, i.e. not qualifying for Executive.
