I have recently reached 1K status for the first time. I have booked the following trip for mid Jan where I have used my GPU upgrades for the first time:

DFW - DEN
DEN- NRT
NRT - SIN

SIN - HKG
HKG - SFO
SFO - DFW

All are in W class. I used 2 GPUs for the outbound and return. Both the domestic routes were upgraded immediately, but the routes I care about I am waitlisted on.

I know it's still 5 weeks out so there's time, but is there anything I should do? I have heard about checking for R space, but I can't seem to find it. I know a waitlist can clear at any time but what is typical?

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
