I was originally supposed to be on your NRT-SIN flight this Saturday, and all I can say is I'm glad I changed my "SIN run" to a "TPE run" because as a 2P, I don't think I would have had a snowball's chance in h*ll to upgrade, especially if 1Ks are still waiting.

If you can go through HKG, I do know there was confirmable C space about three days ago, HKG-SIN. Problem was, however, SFO-HKG is pretty tight...and 6700K+ in the back of the bus is a scary thought.

I did have a difficult time in getting confirmed upgrades, so UA has definitely become more stingy. Hope that 1K status pulls through for you...
