If I didn't call in now and just waited until an F seat was available on BKK>HKG and called in and tried to upgrade to it pretending that nothing had changed, and if the whole ticket still shows as F, then perhaps they won't see anything fishy and just give me the upgrade.

Essentially, how do I know if my ticket is still 'F' without asking an AA rep?

Have you called in?

Thank ya.
