OK. Well, I will say this. If you are on the nonstop flight, I'd say you have almost no hope of clearing if you haven't already. There are only 8 seats available for sale and it's still two weeks from the travel date.

So, if you want to fly in business class, your best bet is to change to a date that has open R. You can then either use a GPU or miles + copay. I'd probably use the GPU personally, as the out-of-pocket cost is about the same, I'd get more PQDs, and I'd be able to save the miles for a bigger award later.
