You can ask while making your reservations whether a miles upgrade is available. If not, you can go standby for one, but the odds are against it clearing. Someone on here who regularly flies your desired routes can probably give you a better idea what your odds are (and whether your open-jaw itinerary would present any problems).
If an upgrade is available, you can go all the way from ANC to YYZ. It would be 15,000 miles, not 5,000 (that applies only to Y fares).

Our flights are in B class.
I was looking around the CO site to see if it was possible to upgrade, and it did seem to be possible, even though we are not Elite members.
The website shows the following
I have a few questions.
i) how soon before departure can you upgrade.
ii) which fare bucket does the upgrade come from.
iii) can we upgrade all the way ANC-SEA-IAH-YYZ?
iv) is it 5,000 or 15,000 miles for a one way upgrade?
Thanks so much
Cheers,
