The verbage is found on line is not correct as I'm in the same boat actually on the same flight! I'm still on the upgrade list and as many know a full C class doesn't mean you are out. In July I was in the same bogg and got an upgrade. So don't worry, if you are a 1k it is likely you do ok. Remeber that it is Status, Ticket Price, and the you BIS Miles for the year sets the ranking. Just call in and you see that you have a spot, I expect? PM me and mabey I'll buy a beer from the fun machine in the RCC at NRT!
Bangkok, eh!
