I remember years ago, some regional JAL flights within Asia would offer cash upgrades from Economy to Business at check-in ( ex; PEK-HND for 50,000yen).

I was hoping of having a similar option for upcoming flight to London. Has anyone been offered cash upgrades with JAL at check in?

I have never seen a cash upgrade offer from Y to J on JAL. There is Y to PY as a default.

J to F s possible if you use miles. Cash upgrade is not an option. Bid is only Y/PY to J.
