Also priority for upgrading would go?.. correct me if i am wrong

• The airlines elite plus members
• Elite plus members from other airlines
• Elite members from the airline in question
• And other sky-team elite members

I am curious with this one for my Chinese new year domestic flight on China Southern which will be packed for certain.
