with online check in this could be 24 hours before hand - Basically I am not saying they should all be released that early but the point is that they could depending on load I am guessing if you have enough miles you may also have the status I can understand that they may release first to high status but if the seat is empty why not a last minute upgrade for the non status

is food a big deal ? I had to make a last minute booking on Thai in business back to the UK after Emirates canceled my flights and I was really hacked off that I was not able to book the Chefs meals or what ever they were called as the choice was superb
