Question 2 - when I'm within the upgrade window is it possible to tell on which flights I would get the upgrade processed immediately?
Chances are there are DM and PM who have been in their window for longer than you and are also waiting. Therefore showing higher than you in the upgrade wait list that will be available at check in.
First class seat available does not mean upgrade available. These seats are going for sale and might not be released for up agree until 30min before departure (start of boarding)
