DUS-CDG: No offer to DL Platinum and DL Gold, upgrade offer (89 Euros) to non-status passengers. Of course they didn't take it as it was not worth it. We were happy to have the spinach and cream cheese sandwich in the back

Air France OLCI Upgrade Offer
I am flying LHR > CDG > HND tomorrow evening in Premium Economy and I've been offered Ł322 to upgrade the CDG > HND flight to Business during online check in. I am tempted to take this as it's a night flight and I will have been at work all day however I have a couple of quick questions:
Will I get increased level miles? The PE seat is just short of taking me up to the next level
Will I get business class service at LHR i.e. lounge although I will be on an economy ticket for LHR > CDG?
I presume I will get lounge at CDG although I only have 85 mins?
And is there any chance that the price will come down in the next 24 hours? Currently most of the seats in business are showing as free.
Thanks

We have a long-running thread for AF upgrade offers and questions - in the appropriate place, the AF thread - which is usually not difficult to find as it rarely falls off the first page.
I will ask that your question be moved in there.

If you didn't already accept the offer, I suspect that some other lucky soul has already taken it.

Apologies you are right, I had looked through said thread although I was struggling to find the information I was after given the large number of pages. Is there a way to move my question myself, or is this something for a moderator to do?
As an aside I have paid for the upgrade although I had to click through the email again to get back into the online check-in flow.

2: Unsure of lounge at LHR
3: Yes, lounge at CDG is OK but time won't allow for much of a visit
4: Unlikely to reduce in price

Thanks for this, sad to hear I won't get more miles but at least I know where I stand.
Interestingly my boarding pass says Sky Priority against both flights so I am hopeful about getting in at LHR, as you say not much time at CDG.

Sky Priority is not enough to enter the lounge, but you have nothing to loose to try. SkyP will give you for sure Priority check-in and boarding at LHR.

This might exist since a long time, but first time that I realized that the price for an upgrade is quite different when you buy it the day before or during check-in. For my yesterday's flight I got an upgrade offer for J class for 600 euros 2 days before the flight via e-mail. During check-in I got the same offer for 400 euros.

the online offer is not guaranteed. It has happened to me several times to see the e-mail a few hrs after they sent it and the offer was not available anymore.
