Is there a way to continue to request an upgrade by doing so and does that help my chance on the upgrade list? Is there anyway to see where I am on the upgrade list?

Any information you can give me would be helpful...
Thanks!
Yes, check in as early as possible. I believe check in time matters for miles+copay upgrades (at least it does for SWU). You'll be asked if you want to be put on the airport upgrade list (yes) if you haven't cleared by then. You can ask an airport agent where you are on the upgrade list, or see it at the gate. J2 doesn't look too great. How many seats open on the seat map?
