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!
Your question about upgrade clearing (or not) is analogous to the proverbial "how long is a piece of string?". If you try doing a search using "upgrade waitlisted" or "upgrade clear" you'll find myriad threads asking essentially the same question as you for different flights. Perhaps your question rests in this thread?
