Upgrading KQ Flight
I'm about 30 days away from a flight from New York to Nairobi on Kenya Airways. I booked the economy tickets for my wife and I a while back. It's a Saturday afternoon departure. Thinking about bidding on an upgrade from economy to business class. When I research the current ticket price and availability on Kenya Airways, the website tells me the combined ticket price for Economy one-way is about $1,500. The combined ticket price for business class one-way is $16,777! Also says there are "only 4 seats left" in business class. Typical rule of thumb I hear for bidding is to do about 1/3 of the price difference between business and economy, which would be a bid price of about $5,000 to upgrade that one leg, which is WAY too much for me. Am I sunk, or can I really rely on this info from the Kenya Airways website?
