Went back and seached for a companion fair and found $636.54 All in for 2 First Class on the MVPG upgrade companion ticket.

I still have not booked mine yet, I hope sharing this knowledge does not book up all the upgrades to OGG

This should work to other locations Lower first class redemptions amounts equals instant upgrade able fairs

Usually "A" class, which is the First saver bucket (the one you outlined above) corresponds with U class... however, sometimes I've seen U class available but no A class... (I haven't seen it go the other way yet, but I guess it could...maybe)

But that's not a bad way to find where A (which corresponds to U) is other then searching each day by schedule, or flyaow...
