Where do I see the instant upgrade price? The only option I see is to bid for an upgrade. The bid I have placed is about 25% over the minimum bid.

No problem if the bid is not accepted. Its a day flight so I will be perfectly happy with a front row seat in Premium Economy. Just hope I know sooner rather than later.
