Trying to to gauge how likely is it that my wife will be upgraded at the gate vs be on a bird with just 20 (sold-out) J seats.
Usually, you will know which aircraft it will be 48 hours before departure. However, aircraft change can happen at anytime. I am going to assume the NRT-ORD aircraft is coming in from ORD, you will have an idea for sure once the inbound aircraft is in the air.
