There's a few seats left up front right now for an early March flight. Shockingly, I can use miles to upgrade right now. Which I'm thinking of doing....what would you do?

Besides the nice cushy seat, should I expect any differences with service on a morning flight? I know that International Business sometimes offers more meal options at night...but do they ever offer extra meal options for breakfast? Warm cookies before landing? anything?

If it was me I would roll the dice...especially if I can book row 16 or 15 in advance...CUN is not exactly the biggest business travelers market. As a platinum I think you have a very good shot, but I would certainly take a look at the fare buckets...if it is 9s across the board upfront I would chance it...
