If the upgrade was only applied to the longer of the two legs because I didn't want to waste the upgrade if only the shorter leg cleared, once the longer leg clears, can we retroactively apply the upgrade to the short leg as well? The flights are BOS-SFO / SFO-SAN.

No, the same is true for domestic flights also.

Would it be easier to then just cancel the upgrade request at say T24 if it looks like only the short flight, in his case SFO-SAN will clear? What the cancellation restrictions now. I know in the past I have cancelled instruments close in for just this reason without problems but not sure now with PP system if that has changed.

Once any flight has been upgraded, you can't cancel a PlusPoints upgrade request.

I'm a 1K on a B fare and it's my understanding that the PlusPoints on the domestic leg actually puts me further down the upgrade list than I would be simply as a 1K on that fare. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Going forward, it seems the best strategy in that situation is to apply the +P upgrade request to only the TATL or TPAC segment.

I'm running into lots of inconsistencies with PlusPoints, although largely in my favor. My last three international segments have had the points refunded at flight time even though the upgrade is confirmed. (I'd be ecstatic about this if it weren't for the fact that they refund as points expiring in 5 days.) There seems to be some conflict between the PlusPoints upgrades vs. some other upgrade list that an agent can use, I've also had the PlusPoints website workflow request points that don't show on the website but that the phone agent can see as waitlisted; it's all very confusing.

Were these all upgrades processed at the gate by the gate agent? Or were they done ahead of time?

Are you backtracking at all, or transiting the same point twice? How long between flights?

2 pax just booked an S fare on an international flight. Should be 160 points. This error is showing up.
