I understand I cannot upgrade to J with an existing redeemption ticket via points or money. However, is there a chance they will give me a free upgrade if there's seats available before take off in business with a mpo gold ? I know it's a stretch....but thought it'd be worth a shot! Is this called an op up?
You probably have a higher chance on CX837 return as CX888 connect to JFK and usually when I take this flight, its a pretty full load but CX837 usually less load at that time of the year.

Probably upgrade to PEY. Being GO and taking this route primary, chances of op-up to J from Y is 4/10 times but Y to PEY is about 7/10
