Any other experience on redeeming miles for upgrade on AI would be welcome.

Thanks in advance
I assume upgrades usually clear because it's very rare to see First or Business sold out.

For mileage upgrades, this should explain terms and conditions clearly:

You have to scroll down a bit. These upgrades should be requested in advance through the Flying Returns call center IIRC.

For cash upgrades (at the airport):
