Is there a limited inventory on the upgrades or can one book as long as there are F seats available?

Thanks in advance for your information.

Upgrade inventory is managed separately and is different from revenue tickets. There’s no guarantee they will release more closer to departure because FLY ON members have waitlist priority over regular members. And they definitely won’t release upgrade award when cabin is full.
