so for example, a roundtrip YVR-PVG flight in Flex costs $1,650 using March 5 - 12 as dates. Plus $1,500 roundtrip for the co-pay, which totals $3,150 if you are successful in getting the upgrade.

A quick check on expedia shows that you could fly JL via NRT for $2,961 and you could fly CE for $3,169 direct. Not only do you get guaranteed J, you don't use up e-upgrades as well.

Please tell me I'm missing something here??
