I thought TOD's were reserved for upgrades under $100?
Regardless, I don't bite on 2 hour flights, but I love the concept of buy-ups, if I'm 7 on the waitlist with 1-2 seats available on HNL-SFO or vice versa, I definitely jump the queue for a lie-flat - usually in the $300 range. I like that I have the option. There are plenty of us that think buy-ups were one of the best things they've implemented.
