I just don't think a) my chances are that great of upgrading if any given they are z-fare tickets. b) the difference between C and F will be worth it -- Y to C on a later trip seems to be more sensible.

Any thoughts? Any one have experience recently on ORD->NRT->ICN on service, etc.?

Z upgrade to F - maybe. Give it a try. Who knows. I did and it worked out for me once. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get Z fares lately.

ORD to NRT - nice. Depends on if you get Asian based FAs. They do a good job. Otherwise it is okay.

At NRT go to RCC. I don't drink but the beer machine is called the "Amazing Beer Machine" so it most be something for those that drink. I like the shower. Good stuff. ^

NRT to ICN - get the sushi. Service is good. Short flight.

Word of advice. Get ready to deboard at ICN. Get all your stuff together and run. Immigration can be a long if you get there late. Sometimes 1 hour or more.
