Any recent experiences on securing points upgrades from full flex Y to J on Intl segments, what seat availability looked like and how many days out these have been confirmed?
I've got an upgrade request (just myself travelling) in for QF43 SYD-DPS on Thursday and EF is showing J5 C4 D2 I0 U0. Given the number of available seats and published benefit "Where possible, requests will be confirmed from seven days prior to departure, via SMS", I figured given the 11 seats still apparently available this may have cleared already, but still waiting. VIP line said they'd start processing upgrades from 32hrs out..
Do they only start from 7 days out if it's a completely empty A388 J cabin?![Beaming face with smiling eyes :grin: 😁](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png)
I'm sure there's a reason behind it, but seems odd as a P1 I could request to convert almost any of those avilable seats to a CR and get an instant confirmation or escalate and hear back, but they can't do that for an upgrade.
