TPAC upgrade space blocked?

January 1st I booked for October 2021 BOS-SFO-AKL/AKL-BNE/SYD-LAX-BOS for 2 pax in IN-class for the TPAC segments for 160k Miles. TYO/SIN was wide-open too.

I am booked for 2 pax for June & September & x-mas to ZRH in IN-class.

I might take some flexibility, but IN availability has been spectacular.

I booked ORF-PVG for April, May and June in IN spaces. But I do not think that China will be open by June. I was too optimistic in January when I booked those tickets.

No chance it will be open. I doubt any East Asian country will really open (without 14 day quarantine) until next year. With the possible exception of Japan of the Olympics still go off.
