Will upgrade bids cost you the same or more than buying the ticket outright?
I'm looking at flights from Perth AUS to Vancouver via HKG. The airliner is an A350-900 on both legs. If I'm not entirely fussed about PE, would it be worth buying regular economy tickets now and taking a gamble on a cheap(ish) upgrade? Or do people find that the upgrades are costing as much as buying a PE ticket in the first place?
thanks
