Heads up of upgrade

[PineappleSkip]

Just looking at Mrs SG Pineapple's latest upgrade requests. The 'cancel request' buttons went off separately at about T-24 for each sector, which would look about the right timing. Appears promising but nothing confirmed yet. IIRC in the past I have also seen seat allocations change to the next cabin up before confirmation sent. The BNE-MEL sector is still showing J7 C7 D7 I6 as it did before the 'cancel request' light went out, so selling all or many of the seats would presumably kill of the potential upgrade.


Since then, at about T-21 the MEL-DXB upgrade was confirmed, but the BNE-MEL sector still in this quasi-confirmed mode at T-15.

Curious stuff. Just wondering if anyone knows if this whole process is automated or is there manual intervention? There seems to be a bit of arbitrariness on the timing for when the confirmations and rejections go out. Anyone know how the mechanics of upgrade confirmation/rejection works these days. The pecking order is of course covered on other treads.

Cheers skip

Domestic upgrades should be automated. There's a bug that can cause waitlisted upgrades not to clear even if there is space available - it might be worth calling and asking them to check.

I believe international upgrades are a manual process.
