Full fare usually is just Y class.
It says in the T&Cs B class too.

Does that mean I would be able to upgrade if space if available.

Does a specific class need to be opened in order to upgrade?

Full fare Y in Air France-expert flyer showing J4. Does that mean I can upgrade with FlyingBlue 24 hours before departure if there's availability, or I need to find a different fare class?

Have a paid RT ticket in economy (ORD-)EWR-TLV.  Israel leg is middle seat exit row (no row in front), both ways.  Assuming there's no chance I get a free upgrade (UA Gold), how do people around these parts feel about the 30k miles + $350 option to upgrade one leg?  "Worth" it?

Need to go to HNL from IL for work in a couple months. They only pay for econ or econ plus. I did a bit of digging and realize that flight class really matters for the upgrade. I was looking at united, just cuz flights seem reasonable to there. Anyway, my understanding is it will be an extra 70k miles .. and this is if the ticket is a specefic booking class.. others have told me that they always purchase a fully refundable/flexible ticket rate, so my understanding is that I should be able to upgrade the ticket without adding money.

My question is how can I check for. Availablility? Is it just the standard availablility for J - or something else? There's no availability anymore, and since plan B clearly not an option.. any other ideas? TIA!!!

Time sensitive

Have 2 economy tickets on Austrian for today

From KBP- NYC

I want to upgrade with points,  i called in and they said i can only do it by airport or online

How ever i don't have any miles on the passengers name

But i have access to any points and miles

How is the best way to do it

They said that there is availability in business

Thanks much
