According to Expert flyer there are plenty of Z-upgrades (except for the CDG-CPH AF flight) for my dates of travel, and thus need to know the price of an M-fare (to compare it to the $3500 I fare).
No luck. In order to get the 5 PM SLC-CDG flight I have to check "Priority according to schedule" and when doing that with "M-fare chosen", I have now for 2 days been met with "system unavailable".
If choosing "priority according to price", or "not specifying an M-fare", I either can not bring up the SLC-CDG flight (price/M-fare) or will get economy in less than M-fare (schedule/not checking M-fare)
No way around a call to sort it out.
Out of curiosity, what dates were you looking at? Here's one that I pulled up, first try:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100726 CentOS/3.6-3.el5.centos Firefox/3.6.7
EDIT: I've posted in this thread before about frustrations with the booking engine, and I notice them more when I'm searching for a specific routing. Lately, I've been pretty successful with not specifying each leg of the trip individually with a multi-city search by schedule and fare class (especially when I know the booking engine will give me the segments I want through a logical connection point).
For example, to get the above to price out, I searched for SLC-CPH, CPH-JFK, JFK-SLC by schedule and fare class M+.
