I found a Super Priority appointment at 2.30am on a Monday during May after having my application ready to submit for 3 weeks. Try at that time on a Tuesday after a Bank Holiday as well. By 7.00am they had disappeared. Good Luck!

Thanks, Interesting - they seem to be high demand!

I read the other thread about it not being easy to get super priority on these routes so wondering how peo...
