My res. is for 4 person. Do you think I have any chance for an op-up?!? Is it absolutely impossible because of the 4 passengers? Or maybe they can upgrade only 1-2 passenger within the booking and keep the others in Y? Is it better to call and ask to separate in 2 different booking (2 person each) to augment my chances?

I’m also considering to bid for upgrade…do you know if my status help vs other “no-status” passengers?

Thanks!
