Expectations for Waitlisted BF

Hello Fellow FTers,

A while back (6 weeks perhaps), I used all 4 of my 2010 SWUs to waitlist for upgrades for myself and my fiancee for early July IAH-AMS (CO58) and early August TLV-EWR (CO91). I have since been diligently using the upgrade search feature to check for R-class inventory, and there's never any. Meanwhile, using ExpertFlyer, I can see that there's plenty of unsold inventory. I know there's nothing anyone can tell me for sure, but I'd love some thoughts on your intuition for what my expectations should be? Am I likely to clear in advance? If so, how far? And if not, is it a good shot at the airport?

If I don't clear at T-24 hours, is there anything special I need to do to ensure I get put on the airport wait list - call CO? Ask about it at check in? The lounge? The gate?

Thanks so much!
