Currently showing no biz seats for sale, but 8 unassigned (open) seats. Sometimes AA seems to block out J seats for sale on this flight, then release a dump of them 24 hours or so before departure. So, not looking good right now. But that couple possibly change. Keep an eye on it.

Let us know if your upgrade clears. I'm on the same route on 5/29 and there are 5 unassigned seats but J3 as of now. Haven't seen any C inventory open up in weeks. Talked to a friend of mine who said this is a pretty tough one to upgrade on.
I just now checked into the Flagship Lounge and was told there’s 4 open seats in J currently, so I’m thinking [MENTION=385316]econometrics[/MENTION] was on target with inventory being held back. Possible that there were 4 cancellations I guess- but either way I’m feeling good about my chances (currently number 2). |

Either AA is doing some odd rev mgmt with these flights, or there are a lot of full fare pax that cancel day of. |

Number 9 cleared too. Maybe Premium Economy UG? |
I am on 195 tomorrow (LHR-PHX). It is I7 and J7 and only 8 seats are assigned (it was 10 a week ago) and yet it is till C0. Today's flight was similarly empty and became C7 at about T-36 hours. Its strange how they decide about C inventory ... I really can find no rhyme or reason behind it, but I'm sure there is some.
Fortunately for me I was able to upfare to I for $250 and so I am one of those 8 assigned seats :) |

Hi all, flying LAX-NRT this Thursday with a companion. 5 seats currently for sale in J. EXP with $35k rolling spend. What do you think the odds of clearing are?
Thanks! |

actually, I didn't mean tomorrow, I meant the day after! (not sure why I'm eager to go back a day early). Sunday is still C0 and only 8 seats assigned.

Just came through! List shows that 2 cleared, although there’s about another hour before boarding so more people might get lucky. I’m low EQD for EXP. I don’t know my exact rolling total, but I qualified last year with a little over $13k; probably a decent estimate given my travel patterns. Awesome! Glad you cleared. I just lost my status so I'm thinking my chances are grim but I'm really glad you cleared. Hope you enjoyed the flight. |

Yeah, I'm looking at the Sunday / Monday LAX-LHR AA136 flights myself, and same issue with C inventory remaining at 0 even with J7. Both flights also have over 20 seats unassigned. I think T-36 is the default setting AA uses for most international flights

Adding to the data point.
PP 9+ rolling. LAX-JFK cleared at T-72 on memorial day weekend, sat red-eye. Kind of expected given that only 8 seats were assigned and it's sat night on a long weekend. Finally a chance to burn the stack of my 500miles upgrades on a companion. |
Hi all, I'm booked on AA38 on 8/2/19, MIA-LHR on AA 77W metal booked through BA. Currently seated in 32J on an N fare. I've been reading this thread quite a bit and seem to have gotten a decent idea of my chances of an upgrade with miles + copay given my current status (somewhere in the range of 25%?), but would like to hear some expert opinions since I rarely fly this route.
Platinum w/ $8k+ rolling EQDs, here's what EF shows: F7 A7 J7 R7 D7 I7 W4 P0 Y7 H7 K7 M6 L4 G0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 |

It's too early to tell. AA dropped down to once-daily MIA-LHR now that BA is up to 3 daily flights. Friday night in the summer to Europe tends to be a tough upgrade from any US city but again, won't have a better sense of upgrade chances until T-48 really.
