Here's the scoop: I have 4 GPU expiring in January of 2014, as many of you do too.
My GF and I want to go to SE Asia in the fall of 2013, spending perhaps 3-5 weeks there. As of now, I can confirm ZERO R space in late October, to any Asian destination. Ok, fine.
However, I'm convinced that some R space will open long before flight time. The trouble is, I can't guess WHICH gateway and destination that'll be. Fine again.
I'm willing to pay any applicable change fees to confirm R space once it opens from different locations or on different dates.
The question: am I better off NOT requesting upgrades now, so that my GPUs will be "fresh" and not need to be "cancelled" / re-deposited when I make any needed routing changes?? Or, do I simply request the upgrades now, and play wait and see??
TIA!!
