Fare buckets,

Eg, J/C/D/I/U=Business
Y (and the others) = Eccon

If it says 9 it actually means 9 or more seats in that bucket. Each fare bucket has different conditions and different pricing attached.

In the above I can see there are still many cheap seats available (Q/N/O are cheap buckets), there are no business classic awards available, however there is quite a bit of business class availability including discount business.

what is G/0 X/0 E/0

Award seating in Y for X, if its not in the fare bucket above its either award or for internal use.

I bought class S

Thank you

Upgrade for free, no chance, Using points, needs to be eligible fare and then it depends on who is in front of you.

Class S is normally upgradable, however that typically goes into U class of which there are no seats available at this stage.
That is not to say they won't release more getting closer to the date, but I wouldn't be holding your breath and I would be fully expecting to fly in Eccon.

Free, virtually not a chance, so far it is very light loads on the flight, free upgrades (or OpUp's) are only given when the Eccon cabin is oversold.

Have you put an upgrade request in? You never quite know.
