I'm fairly sure this flight is completely full, which normally would have me rubbing my hands together as I am Gold and I have a Flex Plus ticket, but I had auto-upgrade set and it seems to have disappeared without an upgrade being confirmed.

Should I:

- Rely on an op-up
- Go on the miles upgrade wait-list at the airport (big waste of miles in prime op-up territory)
- Look for space on the flight before or after?

My schedule is pretty easy and its not really the end of the world if I gamble and don't get an upgrade.
Never rely on an op-up. Key question is what the higher cabin load is. If it's full there'll be no op-ups. Lack of upgrade, auto or not, says nothing about loads. Auto upgrade disappears at T-48 or so I think
