I'm flying red-eye on Swiss Air JFK-TLV via ZRH and the flight is full and I have a 'Y' middle seat. They want $500 to upgrade to business and I don't have miles with them, though I have plenty in the transferable currencies. Any advice?

$500 is worth it. Especially (in the summer &) if both legs have lie flat seating.

+1. $500 for both flights isn't bad. I would do it.

Beside for the Cathay nyc-Vancouver route, are there any other shorter flights (4-5 hrs. Max) from nyc, where one can experience real first class ?
