How do I get my wife into the same cabin as me?

This is my first post so please bear with me.

I am flying to HKG at the end of November in CW, returning a few days later.

As a treat for my wife I bought a ticket for her to join me but could only afford WT+. Ever since I bought her ticket I have checked the BA website 2-3 times/day to see if I can upgrade her for the return flight on 1st December, but nothing has come up.

As we are on separate bookings I doubt I will even be able to sweet talk an upgrade at the check in desk.

I have more than enough Avios to cover an upgrade to CW but the age old problem of availability is preventing me.

I also check Flightstats every day and the seat availability is slowly going down - further reducing the chances of last minute reward seat release.

Assuming nothing comes available, what is the best approach to take to try and get my wife into CW for the return (BA26 on 1/12)?

Any advice would be welcome.
