here says the latter, so I'm more hoping it's at check-in than expecting it... That's good if so, though I may still be better off with an Avios ticket for most flights.
That's what I figured with the special fares though - good to have it confirmed, thanks!
My last upgraded flights were HND-KUH and CTS-NGO during the middle of a weekday so even class J was only half full and I got the upgrade on the spot. I can't speak for more heavily traveled times/routes though.
