So what is going to best to do, buy a saver ticket and chance upgrading when OLCI opens or buy flex tickets and upgrade immediately.
Or buy all the flights with miles?
Also if I buy the flex ticket can I upgrade at time of booking?

Thanks for your help
Personally I think the best best value is using skywards miles for upgrades as award ticket redemption is terrible value. That being said, mile upgrade space is not guaranteed so I would get on the phone with an agent and ask if there is space on your flights and then book accordingly in flex then upgrade immediately.
