But because of that I now check on changing the flight instead of buying the upgrade. Sometimes changing the flight gets the upgrade for less than FCM.
This is what I've been saying for years. Always check the price to upfare to a premium cabin (DL policy was no change fees in these cases) vs the FCM offer. Don't assume that your FCM offer is cheaper or is a good deal.
