Good idea. I checked on ExpertFlyer and the lowest Flex fare that's currently available is a V class, which has a $290 fare difference. If I had been smarter, I could have tried for a G class, which would only be $140 extra. But the G class has a 14-day advance purchase requirement, and I'm 7 days away from departure.
Any chance of them giving me the G class at this point?
