Thank you for all your great info and reassurances -- you folks here are wonderful!. These are not upgrade tickets, but just one leg of a fully XF international itinerary (before it was increased to 200,000 miles per ticket, thank God!). So if I understand things correctly, upgrades would be bumped before we would be if FC is oversold? I will definitely keep checking back to make sure we get our FC seats back, esp. now that I be fightin' fer them sleeper seats

Now if I could just get them to open up some XF seats on one of the non-stop European flights to ORD the day before that (on one of those 777's or 747''s) I would be the happiest of campers. So far we're still flying EDI-LHR (overnight in London)-ORD through IAD on a 767 (boo hiss )
