What are the chances that the upgrade offer will still be available? The seat map shows the cabin wide open, however $500 is a great deal for us. Thank you for your help.
Really no telling, as a lot of things can still happen (e.g., disruption on a previous flight causes the cabin to fill-up, a big group suddenly upgrades or buys J seats). But if the cabin really is wide-open, I'm guessing you'll still have a shot to upgrade at least a few people when you get to the airport. Remember, the upgrade offer is generally only offered at the kiosk. (I don't think I've seen any reports of counter upgrades on ex-US flights.)
