My biggest learning with this booking is that economy-flex is the best option regarding unplanned upgrades.

What do you mean with „flight is wide open...all the way to H7“?
Does H bucket have a special inference for the class load?

And by way, no biting...promised!

Not really a 'special meaning', but H is the cheapest business class fare (Business Special). The inference is that if they are prepared to sell 7 (or more) seats at that fare, they expect it to be quite empty. No real 'science', more 'gut feel'.
