No, no and no.

I haven't tried MHUpgrade since Covid, but there used to be some correlation between RBD and starting price. It's not as simple as being the price difference between the cheapest J and your Y ticket price - that would just be upselling.

MH is not a North American airline.
Is there a particular reason you really want to fly J on this route?
