Thinking about this a different way, do you know of an option where I could purchase the coach fare and use points to upgrade?
I'm not much of an expert on upgrading with points/miles. But there are at least two pitfalls to watch out for:
1. Some programs only let you upgrade from the more expensive Economy fares, not the deep-discount ones.
2. Some carriers have a class of service between Economy and Business (Economy Plus). On those carriers, upgrading from an Economy fare would only get you into Economy Plus; to upgrade to Business Class, you would need to purchase a qualifying Economy Plus ticket to begin with.
