It's showing "available" on my flights, and when I look on ExpertFlyer I see two seats in the U fare bucket.
Thanks... so glad this is flame free.... hee hee
You have to actually purchase the flights and after that, you will then be upgraded immediately (assuming there are enough U seats available for the number of people on your booking). It doesn't happen until after you've completed your purchase as you are still technically buying coach tickets and you have to actually buy them first. But once the purchase is complete, the upgrade happens pretty much immediately.
