That's about right, when I asked at IAD a couple of weeks ago on the other side of that earlier trip it was $700ish to upgrade from CW to F paying cash.
UuA wasn't an option on either of these trips, not sure why but maybe the fare code that Porsche and then Audi booked my tickets under? LHR wasn't my final destination, IAD>LHR on Sepy 17 was fare code D, the return on 21st was R, then for this most recent trip outbound was D on American (on a three-class plane so nothing to upgrade to anyway) and the flight I'm about to get on is a J.
But the 0.5p per Avios answer makes perfect sense. I'll just keep racking up the avios so I can take
edcaya somewhere nice instead.
