Whoops, sorry I guess it was too early in the morning for me. You are correct that you would need to wait until 4:45 to do the change. Last time I went to check my gold sister in I was the first one to check-in (sequence one) and I saw she didn't get her upgrade. I didn't know she was also checking in but apparently a minute or two later her bp showed her in first. Maybe you can get lucky and the batch will get delayed? But even if you got the agent to do the switch precisely at T-24 hours the waitlist may not sync in time.
Well on the upside the number of F pax is down two from this morning, so 17 open seats. Also, if you don't get upgraded you get AVOD instead of the bootlegged attractions.
