@Steve – can you provide full routing?
I’m flying IST-YYZ-DCA on 1/19 and would LOVE an upgrade. 11 hours is a long time to sit in coach. The booking is K class.
I’ve got JFK – SFO – TPE in K on May 6. TPE – SFO – JFK in K on May 13. Not sure the GPU works on K for the international part but wouldn’t mind a RPU for the JFK-SFO & return legs (and of course a GPU if it works)! 🙂
