I don't have EF at the moment but am thinking of subscribing just because I want to make sure we have as good a chance of upgrading those legs as possible. AFAIK DFW-HKG isn't bookable yet but we basically have our honeymoon dates set, so literally the first day it's available for booking I'll probably hop on (I imagine a bunch of others will be doing so as well).

TIA!

You will be looking for "C" inventory. This is only viewable online through ExpertFlyer.com or by calling AA directly.

If not available you can be put on a waitlist which is ordered by status, fare class (Y/B), and then request date.
