This is a great policy!^
I guess that would depend on where you are going and how much you value your kms
I haven't seen any kms upgrades that look like particularly decent value to me.
For example BOG LIM BOG is a 26,000kms reward and 24,000kms to upgrade a purchased fare. Is it really worth burning 24,000 kms on Premium Economy when it is enough kms to almost give you another flight to the same destination?
Last night I booked BOG MIA BOG. On the dates I wanted it was $519, or in Premium Business $666 a difference of $147
Upgrade with kms BOG MIA BOG is 50,000kms
