I'm hoping all of you seasoned international travellers can help me sort out my chances of getting an U/G for Mrs. Hmm and myself on our planned jaunt to KIX (via YVR).

Based on your experience, will there be enough C class seats left to use my upgrades? I'm an Elite member and will be looking at the 4-day window as I don't think I will be booking an M fare (so I can't book the U/G immediately).

Also a quick question - how many seats do these numbers below represent? The actual figure listed?

Here are the flights and class availabilities:
