GA cash upgrade J to F a goer ?

Hi guys,

I am looking at travelling to LHR from MEL and would love to experience the much acclaimed GA F.

The options are as follows:

1/ MEL-CGK-SIN-LHR on one ticket in J which is A$2650 one way then (hopefully ?) cash upgrade at check-in at CGK to F

2/ Make up own way to CGK and then fly on a confirmed F revenue fare CGK-SIN-LHR this comes in at A$4000 without accounting for positioning costs to CGK which will probably be Air Asia in Y/J which is $250/650 respectively if I book it far in advanced. Let's just say I would do the J option so that's A$4650.

So my question is, would option 1 would be a goer ?
Are GA known to accept cash upgrades at check-in ?
Need this to be an absolute goer as the whole purpose of going to CGK is to fly F ?

I already suspect that option 2 is more of a goer even for the certainty of it but just wanted to hear from others who have flown GA J before if they have been offered upgrades to F and if they have, how much was it ?

Thanks
