Seeing as this is an LH flight, is there such a thing as an upgrade standby list that is "shown online and at the airport"? Or is this just a faulty form letter email that does not apply to me? I didn't realize that a GPU could be used for a W fare on LH flights...or is that not the case?

I went to Google Flights to see if it would even bring up a fare if I were to want to buy a business class fare on the AAA-BBB flight. From what I can tell they are still selling 6 business class seats on that flight (if I try to select 7 adults, the flight no longer appears in the list). Is that a good indication of the number of seats left? Will I actually be eligible for an upgrade on that flight, if so?
