Ok I'm going to scream. I was booked on 876 from NRT to SEA on 11/21, even had a confirmed upgrade to business (thank you sweet spot), then the world turned upside down and I had to change to UA 800 on 11/19 from NRT to JFK. Tried to get on the upgrade list and they said it was "closed".

Could life get any worse? </font>

You'll live

You should call back CONSTANTLY and keep trying to get yourself on the w/l. Closed w/l in my recent experience on HKG flights does not mean that upgrade space won't open up prior to flight day.
