Presently, the flight is showing only 17 booked out of 25 on pda.continental.com, two of whom are my wife and daughter upgraded on a seperate mileage award PNR yesterday. If I don't clear by the 24 hour market, which is in about 3 hours time, I should check in normally for Y and I'll be added to the upgrade standby list automatically. Is that correct? Or should I be calling in to CO?

Thanks, HughW
