Upgrade Chances SFO-PVG
1P here. Anyone have an idea about what my chances would be to upgrade with miles on the above route out on Oct 29 or 30 and back on Nov 4?
I'm happy to buy an upgradeable fare, happy to use the miles, happy to buy up ($500 or $600 each way).
If chances are low, I might consider buying C, but on OZ (LAX-ICN-PVG; cheaper). I'd like to save the $3000 or so if possible, of course.
I've searched but can't figure out how to look for "I" in "expert mode."
Thanks.

If the equipment is still the old version, the C might be about 30~50% empty before all the upgrades get cleared. Chance should be good but YMMV.
Buy OZ in C is a good alternative as well as the fare is much cheaper. I like the flight schedule that is helpful to overcome jet lag.
