I recently booked a mileage flight on QF from SYD-SFO in J, connecting on AS to SEA. The SFO-SEA flight is in Y class and it says I'm on the upgrade list. In years past when I did this, I was quickly (within a few weeks of booking) upgraded to F, even though the trip would be months out. For this specific flight, I booked it several months ago and I haven't been upgraded. A few questions:

1) Does F upgrade space usually open up closer to the flight date?
2) What order would an award redemption be on the upgrade list?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

A space opening up is rare, but if it does, the West coast routes are where you'll most likely find it....be sure and check if SFO-PDX has A space...you'd have another connection but you'd be in first class.
