Also, can anyone who flies to China frequently comment on what upgrade chances might be in December to/from PVG/PEK? The flights are all J7 Y7 and the seat maps look empty, so I'm thinking our chances are pretty high. Of course no C availability (or even milesaaver J).
Depends. What kind of upgrade? SWU? Miles+Cash? Different instruments clear different ways. No "C" pretty much says it all for those flights, but if you're using SWU's, it's always worth waitlisting as C could easily become available.
