If you absolutely definitely MUST fly in C or will be miserable all the way to BKK in Y, don't take the chance. GET THE AWARD!!! You can always cancel the award with no fees if R opens up later & you can confirm at ticketing. But I would not pay the W fare just for a "chance" at the privilege of an upgrade
