I have briefly looked at EI. MAN is probably a little cheaper than London for me to get to, although I'm the opposite end of the railway line from there. Is that also something I can upgrade from a cash booking? Or might I be able to directly afford a business class redemption using Avios that way?

Is it a proper Business Class "feeling" product? I want to feel like I'm treating myself.
