Can fly out of SFO or LAX, though LAX is more convenient
It's a crapshoot. Using expert mode, look for flights with P and PN inventory; those are most likely to clear.

The Thursday and Friday night red-eyes are very popular though.

And in case this hasn't been made clear already, there are no minimum fare restrictions to upgrade on ps with an RPU/GPU. Higher fares have higher upgrade priority though.

Front cabin on ps is always BF.
