Likewise, same question, for my 2nd April EWR to LHR 2100 flight, number 1 on upgrade list with 27 seats remaining.

Using your collective experience of how RPU/GPUs work, what would you say my chances of clearing are, on these flights ?

I spoke to the 1K desk and they said chances are good , but you never know.

I just want to know if it is worth investigating further on where to sit on a 767-400 , and a 757-200 , so I can jump on the best seat if they clear. thx

thx
At one point that LAX-EWR flight was R9. I couldn't believe my eyes. I pounced on it, and R immediately dropped to 5 instead of 8. I'm thinking that a 6am flight on a Wednesday where R was 9 at one point is a good sign, but certainly no guarantee. Good luck! Maybe I'll see you up front!
