I'm considering raising it to $600. Does anyone have advice on this front based on these numbers? I'd really like to bid under $600, but I'm willing to pay a bit extra if it's much more likely to be successful. Thanks!
That flight is J4 R0. I'd be surprised if you got it with a $1000 bid. I'm not saying it's impossible, but AC doesn't like to fill the last few seats with upgrades, paid or otherwise, until the gate.
