Late Check In?

Hi Guys,

I was wondering how many have you risked a late check in with the hope of being upgraded? I was considering upgrading at the counter and read being early has its advantages but being late or just about in time is likely to get you an upgarde. I guess keeping an eye on Expert Flyer on upgrades and load is a advantage? I am traveling LHR ISB for a family event, its a late 10pm flight from LHR and I think its unlikely the tactic will work on the outbound flight given LHR has a high premium load and generally loads are 92% where as my connecting flight I have 18 hours before I depart and was thinking not checking in for the flight and arriving late to the check in desk as I plan to leave the airport.
