A couple of questions, hopefully some of you guys or gals here can help.
a) How come that when checking availability on KVS, using Amadeus gives me 'zero' all through C and Apollo still shows some seats available? See below.

b) I'm booked on RG 8741 FRA-GRU on 25 Jun in class H (my TA could not get any C seat that day, and I didn't want to leave Finland the day before and miss the midsummer bash
). Since this flight seems to be fully booked/probably overbooked, can I hope for an op-up? Never needed one on long-haul, and never flew Varig before, so advice on the best way to go about it would be much appreciated.
c) If no op-up success, has anyone tried paid upgrades with Varig?
d) ... and this is a rhetorical question
Will there be a Varig flight at all, or will they have called it a day by then?? I'm both an optimist and a bit of a gambler, so no plan B at hand, and I must be in MVD on 26 afternoon ^
Thanks a million!
