The return opened up at around T-5d, but K is around $200 now. I’m will to pay extra for K but not that much, so AS will either sell it to someone else or lose the revenue. Not willing to pay for K on speculation either.

Unfortunately, in order to upfare my outbound the agent says she needed to remove me from the waitlists for the entire ticket and then rewaitlist me after upfaring, even for the return not being upfared. I don’t believe that’s correct but I really didn’t expect additional U to open in advance either so didn’t push it. Lightly loaded flight at this point. Looks like a good chance if I don’t get upgraded, I might get a poorman’s lie flat as a consolation prize.
