The JNB route seems to have been rammed lately.
How can I check this? I searched for the flight on BA.com and they still have availability in my flight and the earlier one. Would it make sense to get there in time for the earlier one to try to get an upgrade on at least one of them?
I've done it successfully to JNB previously, hopefully can do again, but wondering how early I need to be to maximise chance (i'm pretty flexible timewise)
