Flight is in 6 days. I am lucky enough to have a GDS access and it shows 8 seats in the seatmap in Amadeus, and it also shows 8 seats in the avaialbiltiy, in C or J class I believe. So basically this means there is aparently no one booked in business class by now.
When do these upgrades usually clear, and if it doesn't clear is there any chance to be upgraded directly at the airport? If so, do they need the upgrade coupon printed?
It's a bit random- usually they upgrade within a few days of being waitlisted (3-4, maybe even less). I have never heard of someone being upgraded directly at the airport.
If they have 8 free seats in availability, and since you are only 6 days away, I am 99% sure you will get upgraded. You probably just need to wait a couple of days (and please get back to us when you know, so we have another data point).
