FWIW: I've never missed an upgrade, but I've rarely flown on weekends. And it's been rare that I've cleared more than 3 days out.
Good luck!
Never mIssed an upgrade?! Wow! I was going to trade away my remaining 4 SWU's. May be I should save them for the HKG upgrade.
We were able to get the last minute saver F and C awards last Christmas for SFO-HKG and were loving it on the new 747 flat bed seats!
