Ultimate goal is to fly in J class
Option 1
Shell out $2997.00 for Flex fare with AC and pay $500 fee plus 20 Upgrades ( Still no guarantee of J class seat)

Option 2
Just pay $1455 with QR and put $2,042 in pocket and use this money on cash bid if possible.

Question, If I book with QR, Can I still bid with AC for cash upgrade or I can only cash bid with QR?
