Hello 🐠, any tips for scoring upgrade to business class from paid premium economy on Air Tahiti Nui flight to Papeatee Tahiti? I have Oneworld Emerald status through American Air however they don’t have alliance.

Air Tahiti Nui, like many airlines now, has an auction for upgrade bidding. I don’t believe your status/miles would do anything, unless there is actual I/J space available. In which case you should just cancel your ticket and book business class directly with your AA miles.

Why give out free upgrades, when you can get passengers to pay?

I would try to rack up enough AA miles and look for availability in business. We found two round trip tickets last year fairly easy.

Once you secure it with points, cancel your paid flight. Might be the best option - consider booking two ones ways and cash for the other etc.

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help
