Makes sense to value DL status holders over FB on DL upgrades, but Aeromexico?
I will say that paid upgrades before OLCI are much cheaper if FB Gold/Plat. From my experience, to upgrade to "first" class from Y on routes 4 hours or less for FB Gold/Plat, the price is about to $80-$150 at least in my experience so far. For Y to C+, with FB Gold/Plat, it usually ranges from $5-$50 but again, ymmv.
