Hi everybody.
I'm flying ORD-VIE March 16. I've submitted a smart upgrade request at $505. ExpertFlyer shows this:
J2 C2 D2 Z0 P0 G4 E2 N2 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V8 W4 S1 T0 L0 K0
Based on what I've read here I'm not really counting on them accepting it... but keeping my fingers crossed.
Can they see that it's my bday trip? lol they have that info.

can you place a smart bid for PE too ? If so, how much are the minimum bid offers for PE and C ?

I don't see an option to upgrade to PE. When I go to modify my bid the minimum the sider allows is $420.

Any advice on what to offer for an upgrade from Economy to Premium Economy? This is for a VIE to IAD flight in May.

Ranges between $440/465 (€360/380) to $2430 (€2000) for from/to VIE from fare class E up.

This seems to be on the higher side considering that ticket price was on the high side already (>$3k).

Do upgrade *always* clear at 72 hours? If not, do they generally clear that time?

The ToS mention 48-72 hours prior scheduled departure, though some experience would be great.

Premium Economy was half full for my flight from Vienna to IAD yesterday. The offer was 350 Euros at the gate to upgrade to Premium Economy. Terrible value in my opinion.

It is. LH group will keep the prices up as long as people keep buying it. LH/OS PE is a good product but most of the time is double the price from Economy or even more. Doesnt worthy it

LAX-VIE $500 declined (from PE to C, PE ticket was $3000+), with UA 1K, May 2018

J/C went from 9+ seats to 5 seats still for sale at T-48 (when upgrade was declined). I waitlisted an upgrade with miles around an hour later, which cleared at around T-38 (10 hours after cash offer was declined).

Interestingly, during ASR, OS seems to block the seat next to me as a 1K. I could choose the seat next to me on the LH website (no ASR on OS besides calling), but it showed as blocked on EF.
