I'm flying on LY 6/22 JFK-TLV... However, its a Birthright ticket.. I'm not quite sure how they work, I'm sure they don't have a PNR that I can access.

So the question is, as a FT'er, is there any chance of me scoring an upgrade (I don't mind paying a reasonable $$$, but I have no matmid points). The flight only showed C and Y fare buckets, no F.. (its a 744).

Or should I just pop an ambien and sleep through 10 hours of Y..

While I'm at it, how bad is LY's Y?
