I happened to have done it earlier this month for MNL - CGK.


My 300 USD bit got accepted some 24 hours before departure. This amount was somewhere around 75% certainty grade by the time I bidded for it. Obviously leaves one wondering whether I could have obtained the same for say 50 USD less. But the flight was late night anyway, and I really dreaded the prospect of sitting in Y.


Overall, well worth it, though that assessment was definitely inspired by the fact that the flight ended up being 2,5 hours delayed, and their lounge in MNL is sufficiently well stocked and maintained to make the wait much more bearable as compared to sitting outside...


On-board C experience definitely worthy of recommendation as well.
