However, I was curious of the results of attempting to upgrade at check-in using cash? I'm not looking for any freebies, which would be nice, however given this is a long haul it would be nice to upgrade to business.

A lot of the threads are more about upgrading using points, or getting it for free. I'm just curious what happens when you offer to pay for the upgrade. Also would be curious if the upgrade cost would be reduced or charged at the current market rate.

Thanks in advance
You can check in manage my booking if a proactive online upgrade is being offered, you can also ask at the airport if an airport upgrade is available. Both are for cash.
