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?
Based on the numbers you quote I am surprised they have not upgraded you by now. In my experience upgrades are sometimes granted with zero I class showing and much lower C / J availability than that.
I would call again to request the upgrade ~ maybe your request dropped out of the system somehow. Can't hurt.
Good luck!
