1k Here. Any advice on scoring an upgrade to front on this flight? First Class is currently several thousand dollars, so not an option for me. I do plan to use plus points, but is it worth buying a B fare also for an additional $400? Or am I better off monitoring until if and when there is PN availability? Flight is less than two weeks out and maybe 6 seats up front.
