5. How much are you willing to spend for upfaring?
6. When are these flights?
7. Have you noted the advanced purchase prices and advanced purchase dates on EF? This may help with some of your monitoring.
8. As per @
vernonc are all these booked via TA/OTA?
9. How short will you be on AQM/AQD if you don't upfare?
1 - All roundtrip
2 - Mostly Eastern US, Central US and 1 or 2 West Coast US
3 - Standard lowest fare
4 - Upfare from Standard to Flex for the 100% AQM
5 - Thats relative I suppose on multiple factors - bang for buck (how much is the extra 50% AQM worth), etc.
6 - Spread throughout 2019
7 - Will look into that. Won't be able to advance purchase too much as its based on business need.. could only purchase 1-2 months out max for US travel
8 - All on AC now, but could change to OTA by 2019
9 - Not too sure yet, maybe about 5-10K AQM. AQD should be fine.
