Do check for NC/NF availability on all your flights, though, before requesting the upgrade - no point in changing to a higher fare (and paying more money) unless you know you're going to get your upgrade!
Hmm. My K fare was $600 and right now the H fare for my flights is $3000 -- can't justify that spread, even ignoring the 60K miles I'd have to burn for the upgrades. But thanks for the idea.
