A few frequent FTers also took this flight and knew how hard it is, or at least before current situation, was, to secure a upgrade on this flight, as compared to ORD/BOS.
At least for the EWR-HKG bound, Amtrak makes it very convenient for people from Philly, MD and the Greater DC area. I did it once when I was living in NoVA and loved it.
