I wonder, though -- would the upgrade chances be better or worse than on the A321 on that route?
On one hand, there are more seats -- 20 vs. 16.
On the other hand, the premium cabin represents a lower percentage of the total seats -- 20/258 = ~7.8% vs. 16/187 = ~8.7%.
Thoughts?

The A330-200s now also have Wifi- they've been retrofitted in San Salvador over the past several months.
As to upgrade chances, I'd say they are slimmer on the A332- the extra 4 seats in J do not make up for the extra Y seating in back. I would imagine odds would be even worse on such a long flight like that, as more people would intentionally be booking that aircraft- both upfront by paying for it, and in the back in hopes of scoring on upgrade.
