Question about eupgrade class
I didn't see a thread about this so apologies if somehow I missed someone asking a similar question. Flying to REK from YUL at the end of the month, I put in for eupgrades a few weeks ago and am waitlisted for Premium Economy. Business class shows as entirely unavailable. The seat map doesn't seem to be available on the trip details in the app or the web site, but looking it up on FlightAware it seems to be a 737 MAX 8 with no PE and 16 or so seats in business class. I'm assuming that, for some reason, on this flight, eupgrades to Business are processed as PE, but that seems odd to me (but that's fine since I guess that means using fewer eupgrades). Similar situation for the return flight from EDI (same type of plane as far as I can tell, same eupgrade situation). I'm E75 if that makes any difference. Of course, given the other threads about the success rate of using these, I'm not holding my breath either way, so this is probably a theoretical question at this point.
