Ahh gotcha, thank you. Then I guess it's down to the nuances of the upgrade-process... which I'm afraid I don't know much about haha. Under what conditions would they upgrade immediately over the phone? Requires an empty seat in business (e.g. C-space)? The only seat upgrades I've had were on waiting lists, and often only happened at the airport, so unfortunately I'm not familiar with how quickly they can happen.

I guess I can book some dummy flights in the summer or fall and upgrade them...
