I am flying next Tues HKG-YVR and it has been J9/C9/Z9/R9 all week.
I had my fingers crossed all day today hopping that it would not R0 right at the 7 day mark. I arranged my day to have internet access at exactly 7:10 PM and here I am sitting in an airport cafe in Davao, Philippines.
So 10 minutes out I check still R9 exactly 7:10 I request the upgrade and get it!
Confirmed 11K (6K was gone already).
I'm on this exact flight and I woke up at 4:10am this morning to upgrade. For the first time, not waitlisted. Wow. Maybe the AC revenue dept. slept in today.

This is unusual...it's 1:30pm...9 hrs after the SE window opened, and flightstats shows J3/R1 (!!!). In my experience, when there's only a small number of J seats remaining, R space is always zero, especially with 7 days to go.
