Hi rockflyertalk, I will consider paying to upgrade if the price seems reasonable. Avios will not be an option.

Hello PETER01, your way of handling it seems very sensible, my gut feeling is telling me the same - leave it as it is. Given the option I would rather be in Club Europe though, I very much enjoy it as supposed to the sterile, lifeless impression I get in Euro Traveller. I will ask for the upgrade price when I check-in.
Thank you very much for sharing the links. I just read about FLY and learned something new - thank you! Fascinating stuff. I am only Silver, not sure if there would be an empty seat next to me. I'm on 12A already though, exit row. Thank you again for the links.

Hi salut0, I leave very early and will get some breakfast in the lounge, no time to go into town, unfortunately. Will still look for those pastries and sandwiches though.

Hi sammyg901, I will eat breakfast in the lounge and try to switch off during the flight in preparation for the long hop to Miami. I will see if I can get an upgrade offer at the airport. I will not risk having the itinerary cancelled.
