Plus Points work similar to upgrading with points where there’s usually a waitlist (unless PZ or PN class is available in which case it’s possible that saver awards are also available and may be of better value, but not always.) only that there’s no copay like on upgrade with regular points. You book a regular ticket (revenue only) just like anyone else can upgrade you with points, they can also do PP for you. If waitlisted, they’ll clear within 24hrs of the flight usually right before the flight unless the passenger has status.

PP prices do not vary by fare class, but by cabin class and route alone. F,K,G it’s all the same. Upgrades with regular points it does vary, both the points amount and the copay amount. See links below.

Using regular points- basically check here you may be better off with regular points. You can also just check your itinerary in manage my booking once you book to see exact prices and copays.

as a general curiosity, I have 1k PP and would consider selling some.
does it matter who they come from in terms of standing on a waitlist?

waitlist order is based on passenger status/fare, not PP coming from.

@Dan

There are different buckets available to 1k and GS

1k has the PZ bucket and the GS have PN bucket so inventory is much better for GS upgrade.

If PZ is available it does not matter but many flights will only have PN so Ik cant upgrade

why are there no prices quoted here? I was under the impression it was board rules that prices must be listed. Is that incorrect?
