I know my original W fare must still be available in order to downgrade myself so I'm wondering GENERALLY when is the latest I can safely remove an RPU?
Ideally, I'd like to wait til the morning of the flight and see where I am on the upgrade list or even wait til boarding or after the first flight. My fear is the CR7 will fill up.
You can do it at the gate (GAs don't seem to care about fare class space requirement) -- the issue is what seats will be left to chose between when you make the change.
