Yea i dont know.. Im pretty sure there were some upgraded before that were below gold status.. only thing that was told was that it was oversold and your bumped to Y. at the gate and also by the FA. I was flying with another person in the same reservation and no downgrade for that person, also basic plus member. We think that it was most likely a Stand by pilot that was needed for return or something but cant confirm that. I filed a complaint / feedback. lets see what finnair says..

Earlier I haven't been successful on exchanging the LH vouchers to SH-vouchers. I don't have upcoming LH flights, so called Plat cs as my vouchers are expiring in the end of the month and to my surprise got 8 SH vouchers, which I tried to use for my upcoming flights (mostly flying BT in the near future so not so many bookings currently)

Cleared, T-36 days But for some reason I'm not that excited, probably will not get a chance to utilize it due to corona.

Well, these eventually cleared (so in the end 8/8 upgrade success) but looks there's a snowball's change in hell to actually take this trip.

Very sad and severe Covid-19 situation aside for a moment, these upgrades are not important compared to what level of human suffering is/will be happening around us....but as we all know U availability is now wide open:

With my flights now pushed back even further I'd say U is not wide open. Au contraire, I'd say U is as tight as it ever was. OK my sample size is 1, but a flight that was move for the second time is now on waitlist, as compared to the first move when upgrade cleared immediately. Checking the tool no departures on the new day has U, as compared to the initial move when all departures.
