Hello! I will be traveling on AA193 LAX>HKG in October with a discounted economy ticket that I won at a company raffle. I plan to use 25k + copay to upgrade to business. How likely will this get cleared? Is it too early to call in to request to be wait listed or am I following a pipe dream? No status yet and will not for awhile as I just started my churning journey.

My partner called AA and requested Mileage Upgrade by his miles and copay for my seat a month ago.
The upgrade request looks cleared at 2 weeks until departure. Now my itinerary shows business class and I can pick my new seat in b/c.
However, it is not reissued yet and miles have not been deducted from my partner's account...
Upgrade status also says still "Requested". Is that normal???

Any updates regarding how the situation in HKG is affecting this flight to/from said destination.
I searched today and the flights were not canceled/delayed despite the situation there in HKG and the strike affecting the airport. I'll be booking my much delayed trip in within the next three weeks and hope things settle down by then. My trips have been postponed since June as things began to go south as my office was very near ground zero.

Another round of greeting arrivals has apparently been scheduled this Friday (8/09) in the arrival hall.
Protests will not affect connections, but a strike may, like this past Monday. CX canceled mainly short hauls. There are, however, no plans for any strike.
